Make your Valentine a girl you don't know...

...on GlobalGiving.org!

You were probably planning on your Valentine being your spouse, children, significant other, best friend, mother and/or someone you know, right?


But you do that every year! This year, surprise everyone and choose a girl you don't know to be your Valentine. We'll introduce you!


Manuchecka: She lives in Haiti. She is pregnant and is recieving free medical care. For $25, you could buy chocolate, or ensure the free clinic stays open to provide treatment to Manuchecka and her baby.

Nita: She lives in India. Through an adventure camp, she has developed leadership and teamwork skills and now believes that "[Girls] can do whatever we set our minds on." For $50, you could send flowers, or build leadership through adventures for Nita.

Basma: She lives in Egypt. Because of her Valuable Girl Project Big Sister, she has been able to stay in school the whole year and graduate to the next grade. For $100, you could buy jewelry, or make sure Basma has a mentor to be her advocate and help her with school work.

These girls don't want candy, flowers or jewelry. They want an education, medical care and a chance to prove themselves. We believe in them. How about you?

Happy Valentine's Day!!
