Every day across rural Africa, families face a heartbreaking decision: Should they invest their limited resources in their child’s education or prioritise their immediate livelihood? This is the fork in the road – a moment where a young girl’s future teeters between hope and hardship.
Imagine a girl, full of dreams and potential, standing at this crossroads. If she can overcome the barriers in her path – poverty, gender inequality, and lack of access to quality schools – her education will unlock a brighter future. She will be healthier, wealthier, and equipped with the skills to drive positive change in her community. But without education, she risks becoming one of the 34 million girls in sub-Saharan Africa denied opportunities that could transform her life.
At PEAS, we believe every girl deserves the chance to live a Big Life – free from the barriers that stand in the way of her education. And this Christmas, through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, you can help make that vision a reality.
From 12pm on Tuesday 3rd December to 12pm on Tuesday 10th December, every donation made to PEAS through this link will be matched, doubling your impact. Meaning every £35 raised will pay for a year’s education for a girl in Africa.
By investing in these girls’ futures, you’re not just providing education – you’re giving them the tools to overcome the challenges they face, break the cycle of poverty, and unlock their full potential.
Give the gift of education this Christmas. Mark your calendars and join us in this campaign to empower adolescent girls to live a Big Life.
