Make a World of Difference.
Many girls in developing countries face challenges of poor access to education, inadequate health care, early marriage and motherhood, domestic violence, and a lack of employment opportunities.
UPromise100 seeks to fund organizations that address these issues and positively impact the lives of girls and young women in their communities.
Our goal is to recruit 1000 members to support female-focused programs at $100/year. The $100,000 raised annually will be used to fund UrbanPromise International programs that seek to support, educate, empower, protect and care for girls and female teenagers.
