Forgirlsake is a charity providing financial support to educate girls. Founded over 15 years ago by a group of friends who attended a girls’ high school together in Montreal, Forgirlsake is a true grassroots entity with the view that small donations add up to make a big difference. Whether it be through books, computers, school scholarships or building materials for a new school, Forgirlsake strives to make a measurable impact on girls’ lives and communities around the world. Since 2007, Forgirlsake has supported educational initiatives for girls in Afghanistan, Ghana, India, Kenya, Peru, Uganda, and Tanzania. Forgirsake is now thrilled to support women in Canada and to help an organization like Indspire build brighter futures for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students.
