Amala is joining 1588 other charities taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge this year. The Big Give is a match funded campaign, meaning all donations made during the Christmas Challenge week, from 2 to 9 December, will be doubled!

This year, the focus of our fundraising efforts is on reaching more women and girls who have been displaced from their homes and affected by conflict, with Amala’s transformative education. Just 37% of refugees are in secondary education. For women and girls living as refugees and affected by conflict, additional challenges such as gender discrimination, early marriage, family responsibilities and safety concerns mean their chances at completing or even being able to enrol in secondary school are much lower.

Amala wants to change that. Through our programmes, we see women and girls thriving, with targeted support to help them navigate the additional barriers that they face. They develop agency to lead change, in their own lives and for others in their communities.

Thanks to the generous support of two anonymous donors, every gift made during the seven days of the Big Give campaign (via our Big Give project page only) will be matched.

We have an ambitious goal to raise £10,000, which will total £20,000 when doubled, enabling women, girls and youth who are living as refugees and affected by conflict to access education through which they build skills, confidence and hope for the future.

If you would like to help get us there, there are a few things you can do:
