Every 10 seconds, a girl is forced into marriage. Your donation protects vulnerable girls from child marriage through education, safe shelters, and community advocacy. Give her the chance to stay in school, grow up free, and choose her own future.
🛑 A Crime Hidden in Plain Sight
Right now, over 650 million girls and women alive today were married before their 18th birthday. In some villages, a girl as young as 12 is taken from school, handed to a man three times her age, and forced into a life of silence, abuse, and lost dreams.
This isn’t tradition — it’s violence. And at Charity and Hope, we’re on the front lines to stop it.

❤️ The Story of Amina: From Bride to Student
“My parents said I was ‘too old’ to stay in school. At 13, they arranged my wedding. Charity and Hope rescued me. Now I’m back in class. I want to be a lawyer — to defend girls like me.”
— Amina, 14 years old, Niger
