Teen’s Key Year End Fundraise – Unlock New Beginnings!

“Growing up in a place of abuse, I struggle with the notion that I can hate a person I love or love a person I hate. I never truly understood what love and hope was until I completed the 18 months life-enrichment programs. Thank you Teen’s Key for providing a safe space & financial aid to lessen my living burden. - Ceci, 19”

 

The United Nations has officially observed 25th November as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. To support the cause, Teen’s Key initiates the year-end fundraising campaign, and invites you all to participate! At-risk marginalized young women & teen girls (aged around 13 to 25) are the major beneficiaries of Teen’s Key, they are in critical need of guidance and support that may become a great benefit for their futures. Although women’s rights have become an extensive discussion worldwide, however, we deem that certain marginalized groups of women are nevertheless in a deficit of seeking help in our societies. In order, Teen’s Key wishes to bring attention to these underprivileged groups of young women & girls by responding to this Orange the World campaign.
