Welcome to the Kurandza Family

Thank you for joining us in our #IStandForGirls campaign! You are part of a global community that is making a difference in the lives of hundreds of girls and their families.

our goal

Raise direct sponsorships for 200 girls by September 30th, providing support to these girls for the next school year.

Turn Dreams into Reality in Two Steps

This year, we invite you to be both a champion of our cause and a catalyst for change. We believe that raising awareness and raising funds go hand in hand, and we passionately encourage our Launch Team to do both! Because, every share, post, comment, and heartfelt conversation helps to amplify our message about empowering girls and women in Mozambique. And each donation will change the course of their lives.

Together, let's channel the power of the #IStandForGirls movement:

Raise Awareness

Raise Funds

our messaging

When you educate a girl, you empower her for life. You can break the cycle of poverty by providing education to girls and women in Mozambique. Join us and empower a girl today.

Raise Awareness

Your voice matters and can help build momentum for Kurandza's mission to educate and empower the girls in our programs. The first step of showing your support is to share about the #IStandForGirls on your social media platforms and in your personal networks throughout the month of September. Here are some fun ideas for how you might use your voice for good and be part of our global community of supporters:

You can share photos of the girls in our program or print out an #IStandForGirls sign below.

Print Your Own #IStandForGirls Sign

One of our favorite Launch Team traditions is seeing all of you with your #IStandForGirls signs. This year, we’re including a few additional signs to choose from, so share whichever one inspires you. And if you decide to share your own photo or one of the girls instead of the sign, that’s completely fine too!

Photo Tip: Hold your sign over a solid background and include props like a cute coffee mug or flowers. Bonus points if you show your beautiful face! :)

You can download whichever sign speaks to you:

Messaging Examples from our community:

You can also show your support by reposting @lovekurandza posts and stories, liking and commenting on our community’s posts throughout the campaign, and/or adding our campaign link to your Instagram profile.

Raise Funds

The second step in supporting our goal of funding scholarships for all 200 girls for their 2025 school year, is to raise funds from your friends, family, and community. This is an impactful way to help ensure none of our girls get left behind. And if you’d like to create your own fundraiser page, you can see more info below with easy instructions and a template for how to create your page!

  • Ask your friends and family to sponsor a girl's education

  • Host your own online or in-person fundraiser

  • Give back and donate a % of your business proceeds

Reach out to friends and family who would find this cause meaningful. Invite your local school or church community to donate and make a difference. And if you’re celebrating a birthday in September, you could also pay it forward and ask for donations to help you sponsor a girl or multiple girls in lieu of gifts.
