Support our Christmas appeals and you could help a girl like Diana, 12, to go to school.

Our Christmas appeals

Each year we run a Christmas appeal raising money to support one of our life-changing areas of work with women and girls living in poverty around the world. 

Whether it’s supporting girls’ education, ending gender-based violence or helping women to fight climate change, our Christmas appeals showcase just some of the projects that your donation can help fund.

Our Christmas appeal 2022

Launching later this year, our Christmas appeal 2022 will showcase some of the incredible stories of the women and girls we work with to end violence and fight poverty. 

How to support our Christmas appeals

These are just some of the ways you can donate to our work at Christmas.

Our previous Christmas appeals

In 2021 you helped raise money for our work ensuring girls around the world get the education that is their right. 

Around the world, millions of girls are missing from classrooms today.

From Afghanistan, to Kenya, to Haiti, girls are being denied their right to go to school – whether it's because of violence, poverty, or because they're not valued as highly as boys.

But your donations are helping to ensure girls like Happy, pictured, can go to school, transform their own futures and build a life free from poverty.

13-year-old Happy, from Kenya, wants to become a tailor or doctor when she grows up.
