To celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child, we’re putting the spotlight on three extraordinary girls who are ambitious, inspiring, and determined to rise.
Malitsatsi, 16, Zimbabwe
“I would like to encourage all other students that are underprivileged to work hard all the time, to seize the opportunity that they have so that they can achieve their goals and have a better future.”

Marisa, 16, Timor-Leste
After suffering a terrible trauma, Marisa opened her own kiosk and is now paying her way through school, covering her siblings’ school fees, saving for uni, and supporting her family’s farming business.

Chan, 5, Cambodia
Chan is one of over 300 girls attending a Good Start Preschool in Cambodia. Instead of staying home or going to work with her parents, she is receiving an early education, has access to regular health checks, and wants to become a doctor when she grows up.
