Girl Up is a United Nations Foundation campaign which gives American girls the opportunity to become global leaders and channel their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for United Nations programs that help some of the world’s hardest-to-reach adolescent girls.
Now through early September buy two CLEAN & CLEAR® products at your local Target and receive a tote bag featuring the Girl Up campaign! Every CLEAN & CLEAR® Girl Up tote will be raising awareness of UN programs in Guatemala that are focused on educating girls and providing them with mentoring opportunities and internships.
UN programs in Guatemala are focused around health, safety, leadership and education – only 1 in 10 girls are enrolled in secondary education and of Guatemalan teen girls, 14% have no education at all.

Mami and Papi always made a point of letting my sister and I know how special being a girl was; how Papi had wanted seven daughters and how proud they were of us – their two luceros.
As I got older and Mami and Papi were well into their careers with the U.N., I understood and saw first hand that not every girl was as lucky as my sister and I were.
Today let’s join Mom Bloggers for Social Good in promoting gender equality and celebrating all women around the world. Here are four campaigns to share and tweet. You will be honoring other amazing women in the world. Tweet one or tweet them all!

The World Food Programme feeds 20 million children through schools around the world every day. One of these children is Molly a 13-year-old girl in Nairobi, Kenya. She videotaped her personal story of living in a slum, watch her story and then take her quiz! For every quiz taken WFP can provide one more nutritious meal for a child in school.
