Buttoncini is proud to announce that they are supporting the ‘Because I am a Girl’ organization.  Buttoncini is donating $1.00 from every ‘girl’ item we sell to go towards monthly donations toward girls/women of Niger.

Because I am a Girl campaign is a social movement that's unleashing the power of Canadian girls, women - and everyone who matters to them - to claim a brighter, safer future for girls in the developing world.

• Girls have the right to be educated.

• Girls have the right to eat.

• Girls have the right to be safe.

• Girls' rights are human rights.

Although girls are often the poorest of the poor, it's proven that investing in girls is key to eliminating poverty. Empower a girl and she'll change the world.

When a girl is educated, nourished and protected, she shares her knowledge and skills with her family and community, and can forever change the future of a nation. It's that powerful!

That's what Because I am a Girl is all about - harnessing the incredible power that girls and women have here at home and in the developing world, to change the future.
