Find a child to sponsorIn the time it takes you to read this sentence, another girl will be forced into marriage. Every 3 seconds, a girl under 18 is married as a child.
Susma is on a mission to change that. With the support of World Vision, Susma learned her rights and is helping girls in her community to stay in school.
"If there wasn’t support from World Vision, there might not have been trainings. And if I hadn’t joined the trainings and had the opportunity to become a leader of social movements, today, I also would have been married,” she says.
Right now, 1,000 girls like Susma urgently need a sponsor to help them stay in school, safe from child marriage.
