Our second movement fundraiser is a virtual 5K in honor of the women and young girls who walk miles to collect water for their domestic chores. In addition to taking on other caregiving roles, they have to work and go to school. In most cases, the girls end up dropping out of school altogether. The least that we can do is find ways to make their school life easier. This starts with our porridge program which provides free breakfast.

One of EarlyBird256’s missions is to create a safe space where girls are confident in their bodies and voices. We do this through encouraging movement, such as in dance and sports workshops, which are supported by our fundraising efforts. We also collaborate with squad members who have businesses and passions that align with our mission.
