Dear Friend,
2025 has posed incredible challenges for children worldwide. With only two days left to 5X match your donation, we’d like to introduce you to 15-year-old Mariam of Bamako, Mali — one of many children whose future is brighter because of UNICEF.
In communities where adolescent girls are at risk of early marriage and other harmful practices, teens like Mariam are paired with maternal mentors like Kadidiatou Daou, creating intergenerational dialogue that encourages girls to stand up for their rights. From 2022 to 2023, the UNICEF-supported mentor program helped prevent more than 200 child marriages and 50 cases of female genital mutilation.
