What is Vow for Girls?
Founded in 2018, VOW for Girls is a global non-profit organization and movement dedicated to ending the international child marriage crisis. 100% of public donations go directly to support more than 200 local organizations across roughly 20 countries, including regions in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, Latin America, and the United States, providing girls with education, job training, and life skills. The mission is to ensure every girl has the right and resources to choose her own future, free from early or forced marriage.
Why We’re Proud to Support VOW for Girls
As a company that celebrates love, we believe it should always be a choice. Every girl deserves to choose love on her own terms, and no child should ever be forced into becoming a bride. That belief is why we’re proud to support VOW for Girls. It is an initiative we truly believe in and feel needs more support in spreading the word out to the rest of the world. VOW for Girls works with brands to raise awareness and funds to end the international child marriage crisis. 100% of funds generated by VOW partnerships and the public are invested in underfunded yet effective grassroots organizations that advance girls’ rights.
A cause close to our hearts
Because #LoveIsOurBusiness, we can’t celebrate love without standing up for the girls who are denied the chance to choose it. VOW for Girls works to change the perception that girls and their families have no other choice but to get them married at a young age. The organisation keeps girls in school, provides skills training, and empowers young women to build their own futures.
For us, this is about more than ending child marriage. It’s about giving girls the education, confidence and opportunities to shape their own lives, and to say yes to love when they’re ready, on their own terms.
Arun, our ambassador
As soon as Arun Bablani, owner and founder of Vivaah Weddings, heard about VOW for Girls he knew his company had to associate with this cause somehow. Their grassroot and direct way of engagement spoke to him in a very positive way. Arun and Vivaah Weddings have made it their mission to raise awareness and educate people on this topic, discussing it and spreading the word every chance they get. Over the years Arun has successfully orchestrated grand celebrations and events winning countless awards, but what he’s most proud of is supporting an organisation that puts girls’ education and independence first.
