Monica was 14 and in Class 9 when she was married. A year later, she was sent back to her parents. Her dreams of being a teacher turned to dust.

One in four girls like Monica is married when still a child.
Denied schooling, a childhood, dreams, an identity.
But you can change this.

What can I expect with a long-term commitment to Breakthrough?

When you support Breakthrough, you ensure that girls remain in school. When girls remain in school, they are less likely to be pushed into early marriage and are empowered to make positive life choices and pursue opportunities related to health, education and employment.
