"I'm bored. this place is a hole, there's nothing to do... " are common responses we receive when we visit rural communities and ask girls what life is like.
Your support for Free2b Girls groups will help enable a process of creation for some girls who may never otherwise get the chance to plant ideas and watch them grow. Even if it's just half an idea that ends up happening or if it doesn't quite happen the way it was envisioned it's still the beginning of an important process of realising that things can happen!
