Join our campaign to give every girl an education...
This month we launched our #ShareTheLight campaign, which is all about giving girls around the world access to education. We've designed an exclusive candle in partnership with L'Occitane, which at a cost of £8, will help fund education for girls in countries such as Cambodia and Burkina Faso.

Educated girls are less likely to marry and have children while still a child themselves, and are more likely to be literate, healthy, and survive into adulthood. Essentially, they have a better chance at a future.
Since our campaign launched on September 1st, celebrities and influencers have taken to Twitter and Instagram to #ShareTheLight.
