ONE GIRL CAN FOUNDATION

We Support Girls

SUN VIXEN SWIMWEAR GIVES BACK

I believe in supporting women.

It’s more important now than ever before to empower women to succeed. Gender equality is the best way to drive economic development in nations and performance in companies.  There is evidence to support this.

I believe, as a woman, it is important for me to actively appreciate and support other women, especially those living in oppressed conditions on our planet.

Supporting women is one way the world will become a more loving, kind and balanced place for all of humanity.

This is why I have chosen to give a portion of every sale to a charity that is active in the pursuit of empowering women. One Girl Can.

In choosing this charity, I particularly loved that it's founder, Lotte Davis, is a Canadian entrepreneur.  She is the founder of AG Hair.
 
Lotte personally goes to Africa at least once a year to visit and mentor the girls her foundation supports.

Another thing I loved was that 100% of every donation goes directly to the foundations’ projects. All administration, marketing, and travel expenses are absorbed by Lotte’s company, allowing all contributions to work hard where they do the most good. 
 
For me, the allocation of 100% of our donations to directly support the girls is meaningful because not all charities operate this way.

ONE GIRL CAN

One Girl Can is a foundation that promotes equal treatment and opportunities for girls. 
Around the world, girls are still being told what they can and can’t do because of their gender. In developing countries, such as Kenya and Uganda, this prejudice is amplified.

Education, a basic human right, is often denied to girls living in poverty, because of the simple fact they are a girl rather than a boy.

One Girl Can empowers girls through education to break the cycle of poverty and gender inequality in Kenya and Uganda. One Girl Can’s holistic model supports a girl from the time she leaves primary school until the day she gains meaningful employment.

Every month, Sun Vixen Swimwear makes a contribution to support the education of two young girls, Siddy Ayaa and Latifa Njeri Morrid.

 You can also support One Girl Can by donating directly
 
I strongly believe that by investing in the education of young women like Siddy and Latifa, we are making it possible for the next generation of women to thrive. We are making the world a better place by empowering girls to succeed.
 
Sincerely,
Opal Hurteau
