Goal
In Guatemala, a teen girl becomes pregnant every 8 seconds, and less than 27% of girls enroll in secondary education. These statistics represent real girls whose futures are shaped by gender inequality, lack of access to education, and systemic barriers.
At REALgirl (SERniña), we believe every girl deserves a safe space to learn, heal, and grow into the brave and empowered woman she is meant to be. Recognizing the still untapped potential of some of our older girl participants, encouraged us to launch our newest program: The Young Feminism Lab —an advanced leadership program where girls enhance the skills they learned in SERniña, build leadership and activism skills, connect with Feminist theory and approaches as a pathway to transformation, and step up as agents of change in their schools and communities.
But we can’t do this without you.
Our Call to Action
On March 8th, countries around the world will celebrate Women’s Day. This is not just a day to celebrate our progress, Women’s Day is a call to action to call on our global communities to step up to take real action to improve the lives of women and girls everywhere.
In honor of Women’s Day, we’re dedicating the month of March to activate support for the inspiring girls in our 2025 Feminist Lab. With your support, we seek to raise funds to cover the materials and program costs of The Young Feminism Lab for 2025, providing 10 girl leaders with the tools, resources, and safe spaces they need to thrive.
The Young Feminism Lab has program costs of $ 6,800, but thanks to a generous donor who has already contributed $2,400, we only need $4,400 more to make this program a reality.
Every contribution counts, and your support can help transform the lives of the inspiring girls in the program!
