Girls Not Brides

I came across this organization and found it quite beautiful. Girls Not Brides seeks to stop child marriages and promote education and a better life for young girls. They primarily focus on countries in Africa. In particular, I found this article on an Ivory Coast teen who struggles to support their cousin who was forced into child marriage, extremely interesting and it sparked my interest in the organization.
