Global Village Project

At GVP, we believe in walking alongside girls as they grow into confident, engaged young women who show up for their communities and help shape the world around them. 💜

Marjan is a beautiful example. A GVP alumna, now in her second year at Georgia Tech, she recently became a US citizen and cast her very first vote, proudly wearing her Atlanta Dream “Power Her Dreams” tee. 🇺🇸🍑

We were always so happy to see her back with us at our events and sharing her story with more girls. Congratulations, Marjan! We couldn’t be prouder.

✨FINAL MATCH DAY!✨

Starting at noon today, every gift to the Welcome Walk is DOUBLED, with $10,000 on the table until the match runs out. 💖

Every gift to the Walk helps a girl write her own story. Here’s Vanessa’s: When she came to GVP, she didn’t know how to say hi in English. Today, she’s a student at Agnes Scott College.

“When I was little, I didn’t think that I would come this far, and I actually made it.”

Will you help the next girl get there? Double your gift today! 🧡

Around the world, more than 122 million girls are out of school. Behind that number are real girls with real dreams. Girls like Meh Sod.

She grew up behind the fences of a refugee camp in Thailand, and when she started at GVP, she was reading at a first grade level. Today she holds a Master’s in Education and came back to GVP as a teaching assistant to stand beside girls who are where she once was.

Every GVP student has it in her to become a teacher, nurse, engineer, or leader. All she needs is the chance. Will you double yours today?

When Hasna arrived in the U.S. from Myanmar as a teenager, she was stepping into an unfamiliar world. As a student at Global Village Project, she found encouragement, belonging, and the confidence to begin building a new future.

Today, she serves as Front Desk Coordinator at Ethnē Health, where she’s often the very first face patients see — welcoming families from across Clarkston with warmth and care.

Her journey is a reminder of why this work matters: yesterday’s students become today’s healthcare professionals, neighbors, and community leaders.

Thank you, Ethnē Health, for celebrating Hasna’s story alongside us. Read the full collaborative feature here:

From a refugee camp, to GVP, to taking care of her community.

Glory arrived from Myanmar at 13. Today she's a Dental Assistant at Ethnē Dental in Clarkston, serving the neighbors she grew up alongside.
"I want to work where I can serve my community... when they see people who speak their language and understand their culture, they are more comfortable. That means everything to me."
