Girl Rising – Spreading Awareness for Girls’ Rights to Education

Zarif Sahin and Handan Radosh are running a Half Marathon for Girls Empowerment on September 14th in Leesburg, Virginia.
For International Day of Girl, we, Zarif Sahin and Handan Radosh (two Turkish-American women) will be running half a marathon in dedication to the girls who don’t have access to education. Our race will take place on September 14th in Leesburg, Virginia. To support us CLICK HERE…
Why a marathon? Because we believe that the journey to fight for education for some girls is like a marathon itself; it’s a long, hard battle. It is exhausting, but in the end, all the struggling can be overcome, you can come out stronger then ever, and there is nothing but better opportunities lying ahead.
Educating girls dramatically improves the well-being of their families and their communities—multiplying impact on society.
Both of us had our own challenges and understand the power of education. We are taking on this challenge to help improve the community around us and we need your help. We kindly ask for a donation to help educate girls. Even the smallest donation could help a young lady initiate the skills she needs to have a better future.
