Celebrate with Spark as we raise a glass, funds, and awareness for our next grantee, Women Advocacy Project!
With your help, Spark will sponsor their “Give us books, not husbands” Child Marriage Abolition Campaign designed to mobilize communities for the elimination of child marriage in Zimbabwe, informing local communities of the effects child marriage has on young girls, and petitioning the government to allow the rule of law on cases concerning child marriage. #GiveGirlsBooks. All proceeds from this event will go to Spark's grantmaking. Every $25 will allow a woman forced into a child marriage to find support, share her story and advocate for educational opportunities for girls in Zimbabwe.
