Real-life girls' stories to inspire
Right now, a girl is sitting down to do her homework. Another girl is building a fire, ready to get things cooking. Another is standing up to speak – around the dinner table, at a village meeting, in a politician’s office – though she’s always been told to sit down and listen. Yet another is staring out the window into the world – curtains open, so nothing can block her view – thinking, planning, and dreaming of her wildest ambition, her big idea, her next move.
Every one of these girls is already beating the odds. In many parts of the world, it’s harder for girls than for boys to do many things: to have the chance to be born, survive childhood, go to school, choose a job, or just choose their path at all.
But things are changing.
Imagine if every little girl was free to dream…
In the 100 countries where World Vision works, we have front row tickets to the transformation that is happening for girls. It’s happening bit by bit – one idea, one conversation, one law, one small business, one life at a time – in homes and communities worldwide.
It’s incredible and exciting – and it’s a change we can all help make happen! That’s why we wrote this book.
