Help Jenny Lift Girls Through Education

Tax deductible
Hi, I’m Jenny Begum, and for my birthday this year, I’m asking for something far greater than gifts—I’m asking for the chance to create a future where every girl has the power to dream and the opportunity to rise.

I am the first woman in my family to attend school. And if I hadn’t been born in America, it’s a painful truth that I would have faced the same fate as the women who came before me—denied an education, married off too young, and never given the chance to build a future of my own.

But I was lucky—lucky enough to be born in a place where education is a right, not a privilege. That shouldn’t be luck. That should be every girl’s reality.

Education is more than knowledge—it’s freedom. It’s a door to possibility, to choice, to empowerment.

This birthday, I’m raising funds to support girls’ education in underserved communities, particularly in the Bengali community. These girls deserve so much more than survival. They deserve the chance to rise above the expectations that hold them down and to build futures they can be proud of.

I’ve been given the gift of education. Now, I want to help give that gift to others.

Help me turn my birthday into a powerful gift that shatters barriers, lifts girls out of silence, and opens doors to a future of limitless possibility.
