Sunny

An active solution for girls’ protection and education

Sunny 1

Our Vision
Do you know that currently only 34% of adolescents worldwide have accurate knowledge
about HIV transmission and prevention? In some countries, two-thirds of girls don't understand
what's going on when they get their period? In the traditional Chinese culture, the issue of "sex" is
rarely mentioned, and it is not appropriate to discuss such issues as "sex" and "sexual behaviors"
in public. We think one of the important means is to open and develop "sex education". Currently,
the level of development and popularization of sex education in China is still very low. Even in
the developed areas, there is a serious lack of sex education, let alone less developed areas.
Sunny is a non-profit organization focusing on girls’ education in physical and physiological
health, especially in less developed areas of China. We run our organization primarily on
government grants, individual donations, and corporate foundations.
Sunny's goal is to help girls better understand their bodies and strengthen their awareness of
self-protection. Sunny provides not only age-appropriate and development-appropriate education
for children and adolescents on human rights, gender equality, gender relationships, reproduction,
sexual risks and disease prevention, but also an opportunity to demonstrate sexual growth in a
positive manner by emphasizing values such as respect, inclusion, non-discrimination, equality,
empathy, responsibility, and reciprocity. Sunny helps girls pursue a better life in a society where
gender-based violence, gender inequality, young age and unwanted pregnancies, HIV and other
sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) are still a serious threat to their health and well-being.
Establishing a basic awareness of protecting themselves from an early age may help reduce the
risk of victimization for girls. As the flowers of the motherland, girls should not be destroyed in
the seedling stage of life.
Our services mainly include: (1) Recruit and train volunteers from universities and then lead
them to primary schools and junior high schools in less developed areas. We organize about 10
trips a year, with about 6 to 8 volunteers each time, giving lectures to 5,000 girls aged between 7
to 15. The main content of the lecture is to help girls understand their bodies, how to cope with
menstruation properly, eliminate menstrual shame, how to prevent sexual assault, learn self-
protection methods and what to do when and after sexual assault. (2) Offer counseling services
after lectures, with specially trained volunteers to help the children deal with their physical and
psychological problems. When girls have any problems, they can talk to our volunteers through
the internet or telephone, or write letters to our volunteers. (3) Donate related books to the school
libraries, and also distribute periodicals, newspapers and brochures to schools. (4) Buy necessary
sanitary products and provide them free of charge to girls who cannot afford sanitary products
during menstruation.
For the long-term goal, Sunny will develop online courses to reach more girls through the
internet and multimedia to help them understand themselves and tell them how to protect
themselves. We will also set our own website, periodical, newspaper, form our own brand, and
cooperate with more sponsors. The development of the field of child protection lags significantly
behind that of children's health, children's education, and children's welfare, and the number and
proportion of policy evaluation indicators are relatively small, and there is a lack of statistical data
Sunny 2

on the incidence of physical, mental, sexual and serious neglect of boys and girls, so Sunny will
help to collect data to compensate for the lack of statistics on the issue.

Inspiration
In September 2015, Xiao Xue entered the first grade of Taihang East Street Primary School.
Soon after, she was elected the class monitor. She is a child from a single-parent family. Her
mother usually works very hard, so she is sensible and never lets her mother worry about her. What
happened next, however, was the beginning of my 8-year-old girl's nightmare! When Xiao Xue’s
mother first heard the child said that the PE teacher Yang often hugged her, she didn’t pay much
attention. However, Xiao Xue’s unusual behaviors caught her attention. Xiao Xue used to be very
cheerful and would like to talk to her mother when she came back from school. But later, she
became very quiet, and as soon as she came home, she would lie on the bed and rub her legs against
each other. Until the end of January 2016, when Xiao Xue’s mother gave the child a bath, she
found that the child had white sperm spots on her body and her crotch was torn. At the same time,
the child complained that his lower body was uncomfortable. On February 1, Xiao Xue’s mother
took her to the hospital for a check-up. Under her repeated questioning, the daughter faltered. From
the beginning of the school, her PE teacher Yang often kissed her, hugged her when there was
nobody. Eight is supposed to be a carefree age. However, Xiao Xue was sexually abused by PE
teacher Yang for more than two months. During this period, Yang's constant harassment, the
school's repeated evasion, the parents' forbearance and hesitation, all lead to further deterioration
of the situation.
Qianshi lives in a small city in Henan Province. Fifteen years ago, the price of 20 pieces of
napkins in a grocery store was 2 yuan per pack and the single piece of napkin had no independent
packaging. "Once I unrolled a napkin and saw a worm in it." Qianshi said. At that time, women
around her often buy sanitary supplies from a small retail store, and sanitary napkins and toilet
paper there do not have brands. At that time, she was in adolescence. In order to save sanitary
napkins, she would fold a piece of rough straw paper on sanitary napkins. Change the rough straw
paper on sanitary napkins every two classes. In this way, she can use one sanitary pad to last a
whole day. This method was taught to her by her mother. In her memory, her mother has no job,
her father is just an ordinary worker, and there’s a son to be raised by the family. Therefore, her
family’s economic conditions are not good, and her monthly expense on “sanitary napkins” is not
a small amount.
The above-mentioned problems are seriously neglected in China, and it is urgent for us to
take measures to change this situation. There is no time to lose!

Statement of Need
Period poverty is a widespread challenge around the world. The International Federation of
Gynaecology and Obstetrics (IFGO) said, in 2019 that 500 million women worldwide lived in
menstrual poverty. Because of financial constraints, they do not have access to basic tools for
menstrual hygiene, such as hygiene products and hand-washing facilities, IFGO said. In many
Sunny 3

communities, the stigmatization of menstruation often exacerbates menstrual poverty and makes
it difficult for women to practice optimal hygiene.
Last year's COVID-19 pandemic had also contributed to global menstrual poverty. In India,
many Indian girls faced shortages of hygiene supplies because schools were closed during the
lockdown. Developed countries had similar problems. In July, a British charity reported a sharp
rise in the number of women facing menstrual poverty during the blockade. One charity said that
the number of hygiene supplies which they distributed had increased about fivefold. In China,
about 40 million Chinese children are poor, of whom about 10 percent are girls between the ages
of 12 and 16 who are menstruating and about 4 million girls are suffering from "period poverty."
All over the world, there are girls who are too poor to afford their own period expenses. You
might not imagine that in the UK, one in 10 girls between the ages of 14 and 21 cannot afford
sanitary napkins. In China, according to the sample survey of the National Bureau of Statistics,
there are 600 million people whose average monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan. In 2019, 20
percent of households had an annual per capita disposable income of 7,380 yuan, and a monthly
per capita disposable income of 615 yuan. Many of these families live in rural areas. What is the
probability that this little income will be distributed on sanitary napkins?
According to the research report of Zhongthai Securities, even if the raw material of a
sanitary napkin is 0.2 yuan or so, after adding sales management and manufacturing cost, factory
price also is less than 0.4 yuan. However, after passing the increased price of every dealer, a
sanitary napkin overflows to 1.25 yuan. According to their in-depth research report on the sanitary
napkin industry, the average price of daily sanitary napkins is 1 yuan, and the average price of
night sanitary napkins is 1.5 yuan. Some categories of "sanitary pants'' have soared to 5 yuan per
piece.
Let's make a calculation. The number of menstrual days is 5 days per month. If 4 daily
sanitary napkins are used every day and 2 are used at night throughout the menstrual cycle, the
health cost of menstruation is already higher than 20 yuan per month. Even if no sanitary pants are
used, the annual cost of sanitary products for women is also more than 200 yuan. This happens
every month from the time a woman has her first period at the age of 12 until she goes through
menopause at 50 - costing around £1,404 over a lifetime, according to the BBC's Menstrual Cost
Calculator. However, there are many poor people in our country whose monthly income is only
about 1000 yuan, and their monthly menstrual cost is almost enough to equal their living expenses
for a day. Because of poverty, the girls have to choose cheaper alternatives to sanitary pads, such
as old clothes, cotton pieces, leaves, and homemade "sanitary pads". Unhealthy habits lead to more
sanitary problems, as mentioned in the film "The Indian Companion". And living in such a sanitary
environment, the girl's sick treatment will worsen the conditions of low-income families.
The harm of using inferior sanitary napkins includes: (1) Breed bacteria: inferior sanitary
napkin water absorption and water locking ability is poor, bacteria are more likely to breed. (2)
Containing carcinogens: inferior sanitary napkins with chemical industry glue, this industrial glue
contains methanol, ethanol, formaldehyde, benzene and heavy metals, etc., these ingredients are
strong carcinogens, great harm to the human body. (3) Cause irritation to the skin: inferior sanitary
napkins will strongly stimulate the skin, easily causing allergies. (4) Allergic: Allergic reactions
Sunny 4

may occur if the chip is not contained or the functional chip is not advocated by experts. (5) Induce
gynecological inflammation: the pH value of inferior sanitary napkins is alkaline, and most
bacteria, cocci and trichomonas are easier to grow and reproduce in an alkaline environment, and
it is easy to cause vaginal inflammation. In severe cases, infertility, candida infection and other
diseases may occur. (6) The source of diseases: according to the World Health Organization survey
that 60% of women's gynecological diseases are caused by sanitary napkins.
However, it is because of menstrual shame that the issue of menstrual poverty is not taken
seriously. Women buy sanitary pads in black plastic bags. In front of a public camera, it also seems
indecent for women to talk about menstruation. Admittedly, the cover of the topic of menstruation
is deeply influenced by traditional ideas. For women, "Menstruation can't be said" is taken for
granted. The reason why people are sensitive to menstruation is largely due to the lack of "sex
education". Stigmatizing and poking fun at female biology can, to some extent, be seen as a
byproduct of the lack of “sex education”.
The covering of menstruation is not a phenomenon that is unique to any country or place. It
is common in countries all over the world. Aunt Flo, Shark week, Girl time, or Monthly visitor are
also used in foreign countries to describe menstrual periods. In the Oscar winner's short
documentary, Menstrual Revolution, Indian men in a village shake their heads and say they don't
know about menstruation, or offer bizarre answers: Menstruation is a disease, and most of it affects
women...
Girls need the right guidance. Sunny is the most suitable choice to help girls understand their
bodies and develop correct values.
Another serious problem is sexual assault on girls. According to a survey conducted by a
girls' protection organization, 332 cases of child sexual abuse were reported in 2020, involving
more than 845 victims.
Sunny 5

The proportion under 14 years old was 81.48%

In terms of the number of victims, 820 of the 845 children identified their gender, of which
743 were girls, accounting for 90.61%
What is more worrying is that in the vast majority of these cases, the children have
insufficient awareness of self-protection and are at a loss when they encounter sexual assault, even
unaware that it is harmful to them.
Sunny believes the best way to protect girls is to let them learn to protect themselves.
Teaching children how to protect themselves before they are in danger can greatly reduce the risk
of sexual abuse.

Why Our Approach

As described in our statement of need, period poverty coupled with period shame as well as
the potential danger such as sexual assault lurking behind many girls’ back are the two main issues
that we aim to address. We decide that the best way to avoid such unfair and tragic things from
happening to these innocent girls is by getting in touch and educating them on these topics, and
the most effective way is meeting them in person and passing on useful information that is most
likely absent in their education or day to day life. Although we will also develop online lectures
that can be used for the same purpose, we believe face to face interaction with each girl will indeed
create the long-lasting impact we hope to achieve because a bond will be built between our
volunteers and girls, and whenever these girls need someone to talk to or have questions to ask,
they know who to look for, and this relationship can last for years or even decades after our
workshops.
While we hope our girls will learn about hard facts immediately after our program, we also
aim to create lifelong impacts that will nurture and help them develop a positive and healthy
Sunny 6

mindset toward many aspects in life. Thus, with the help of our evaluation plan targeting not only
short-term but also long-term results, which will be explained in detail later on in the article, we
can truly measure our program’s effectiveness on these girls’ lives that we hope to change.

Our Team
Sunny has 3 funding members, He Zhu, Yiyun Li and Shiyan Guo.
He Zhu was a member of the press corps during her undergraduate years. She participated
in many news interviews about left-behind children in rural areas of China. She got an insight into
the difficulties of those left-behind children and wrote it down. Let more people know the actual
situation of the locals and let the children there get a lot of help.
Yiyun Li was a member of the volunteers' association. She was involved in organizing large
and small volunteer activities. She has a great deal of experience in recruiting volunteers, managing
a team. She is very familiar with the development process of volunteer activities.
Shiyan Guo participated in a volunteer teaching activity in the summer of one undergraduate
year. She stayed in a hope primary school for a whole month, spending day and night with those
kids. This enables her to have a very good understanding of the children in these poor areas, such
as their basic knowledge, learning, and living conditions.
We all have enough love and enthusiasm to help these children.
We will also cooperate closely with Hong Han. Hong Han is a very popular singer and a
very influential and appealing public welfare activist in China. Hong Han is keen on charity. In
2007, she launched the "Love Tibet Tour" and other public welfare activities. On May 14, 2008,
she set up the "Han Hong Love Rescue Team" to support the relief efforts in Wenchuan disaster
areas. We believe that by cooperating with Hong Han, we can gain useful experience to run our
organizations.

Competition and Differentiation

There are many charitable projects that focus on children’s education and protection in
China. In order to provide a sense of our differentiation, we would like to introduce some of our
main competitors.

1. Spring Buds Project:

Spring Buds Project is a social welfare undertaking initiated and organized by the China
Children and Teenagers' Fund in 1989 to help dropout girls in poverty-stricken areas return to
school. The project focuses on girls’ education, safety, and health, and has carried out various
forms of subsidized services. Their specific programs and funding criteria are as follows:
Donate 1,200 yuan to subsidize a primary school girl’s living expense;
Donate 1,800 yuan to subsidize a junior school girl’s living expense;
Donate 4,000 yuan to subsidize the study and living expense of a girl in high school;
Donate 6,000 yuan to subsidize a girl’s study and living expense at university level.
Donators can also choose to donate more money to support girls to complete short-term
training in practical skills, subsidize a whole class, and even build a new school.
Sunny 7

In 2019, the Spring Buds Project was questioned by the public because part of the donation
was given to boys.
Sunny:
While the Spring Buds Project mainly focuses on subsidizing girls’ living and education
expenses, Sunny will only focus on the physical and physiological health of girls’ education. We
do not ask for a particular amount of donation so that people who want to make a difference to
young girls can either donate money and goods or join us as volunteers.

2. Girls Protection:
Girls Protection is a charity program committed to protecting children from sexual assaults.
Through training volunteers and cooperating with local women’s federations, education bureaus,
youth league committees, etc., they aim to raise girls’ awareness of self-protection. Their action
plans include developing a professional anti-harassment teaching plan, distributing anti-
harassment leaflets in schools and communities, and promoting legislative protection.
Sunny:
In addition to Girls Protection’s actions on protecting children from sexual assaults, we will
provide courses and lectures on physical and physiological health because we feel that physical
and physiological health education has been seriously neglected, especially in less developed areas.
We will also provide material goods such as sanitary items and clean personal clothes for girls in
need.

3. Red Umbrella:
Red Umbrella is a charity program committed to offering psychological counseling and
assistance to rural children. With the development of China’s economy, most young parents in
rural areas will go to cities to work, thus leading to a large number of children left behind in rural
areas. Red Umbrella aims to help left-behind children increase their self-confidence, improve their
independent living abilities, and help them grow up healthily and happily.
Sunny:
Sunny will also provide psychological consulting and assistance services to rural children.
However, we will focus on the aspect of girls’ physical and physiological health. In addition to
face-to-face consulting, our volunteers will continue to offer online consulting services for girls in
need.
Though many of our competitors have been around for a while, Sunny will be the first
organization to address the problems of girls’ lacking physiological health education in less
developed areas. Through our well-designed lecture (in-person & online) and sufficient material
support, we are committed to helping girls end period shame, end period poverty, understand and
love their bodies. We will also reach out to our competitors and cooperate closely with them for
mutual benefit and development.

Innovation
Service Objects:
Young girls in elementary and secondary schools will be our primary service objects. In
addition, we will provide lectures to their parents and teachers to strengthen sex education within
families and classrooms.

Course Forms:
The forms of our courses will be a combination of in-person and online lectures. In-person
lectures will be provided to girls without Internet access in less developed areas, while online
courses will be provided to individuals, schools, and organizations in most of the country.

Course Design:
The course content consists of three main aspects: knowing your body, how to distinguish
and prevent sexual assaults and what to do when you encounter endangers. During lectures,
pictures, videos, interactive games, and scenario simulations will be largely used to engage our
students effectively.

Consulting Service:
Apart from giving lectures and material support, we provide professional psychological
counseling services to young girls who have relevant problems. Girls in need can reach us through
phone and official websites for help.

Disclosure System of Finance:

Sunny will disclose financial details regularly, showing where each donation goes and
accepting public scrutiny.

Operation Plans
Phase 1: 2021.05-2021.08
Three funding members will conduct pilot activities in local elementary and secondary
schools in Sichuan, Hunan, Yunnan Provinces, etc. Money and permissions from local schools
will be our biggest problems in this phase, so we will use our own money and keep reaching out
to local schools. The goal of this phase is to gain experience and accumulate reputations to support
our fund-raising and volunteer recruiting events in the next phase.

Phase 2: 2021.09-2022.08
The core of this phase is to raise funds, design courses, and recruit volunteers. We will apply
for special funds from the government and raise funds from organizations and individuals through
the Internet. We will hire health experts to develop a professional teaching plan and cooperate
closely with universities to recruit 60-80 qualified volunteers. The goal of this phase is to conduct
at least 10 trips to elementary and secondary schools in less developed areas and to give lectures
and material support for 5,000 girls. The difficulties we may encounter in this phase include
Sunny 9

volunteer training and management. We will offer online training courses, and volunteers need to
pass the assessment to obtain certificates before participating in our fieldwork. Preparatory
meetings before every trip and regular assessments will also be held to ensure the quality of our
volunteers.

Phase 3: 2022.09-2024.08
In this phase, we will continue to conduct our in-person voluntary activities in less developed
areas. In addition, advanced online courses will be developed so that we can serve more than
100,000 girls. Adopting technology may be a big challenge, so we will hire specialists in online
course development and work closely with online learning platforms. We will reach out to local
governments and more schools and so that schools can take our courses as part of their school
requirements.

Marketing Plan
Sunny’s marketing operations will be launched through our field activities and online
campaigns. We will employ the following approaches to reach out to our potential donors,
volunteers, and service objects.

Direct Outreach:
Sunny will establish friendly relationships with our partners in order to raise money, recruit
volunteers, and expand service areas. Our partners include but are not limited to
elementary/secondary schools, universities, local government and communities, consulting
organizations, and other non-profit organizations.

Technology Strategy:
Sunny will adopt online marketing strategies to advertise our charity causes. Our web
designers will construct an informative website showing our stories, missions, activities, volunteer
applications, and donation details, etc. Official accounts on Weibo and WeChat will be carefully
operated to popularize girls’ safety education on a daily basis, call on society to pay attention to
sexual assaults of minors, and help victims with consultation and legal assistance.

Branding:
Sunny will continue to devote to charity causes, expand project types to enhance social
influence. We will establish our brand and maintain positive relationships with brands so that we
can be less dependent on government funds.

Financials
Sunny’s budget plan focuses on the next three years, and with each consecutive year we plan
on expanding our program, meaning that both the expenses and revenues will increase over the
next three years. For year 1, we plan on evenly distributing 10 trips to schools in need over a 12-
month period. For year 2 and year 3 respectively, since we plan on reaching out to more schools
Sunny 10

in need, our expenses are higher which requires higher income from donations. We are hoping to
increase our exposure to the society so that more donations will be made, giving us more
opportunities to reach out to schools in underdeveloped areas and helping more girls in need.
Our projections are realistic and optimistic, given the fact that we realize the challenges we
face during the fundraising process and that we hope to help as many girls as our budget allows.
Since our main channel of contact is through face-to-face interaction, travel expenses will be
inevitably high. However, transportation, accommodation, and several other fees are inexpensive
in China, and keeping our travel expenses low is feasible.
Overall, we project to have a negative balance sheet for the first and second year. Starting
with year 3, when we hope to have a positive and widespread reputation, we will see a positive
balance sheet and can use the surplus toward service development such as online lectures, etc.

Income Statement
In the Appendix, the income statement for the first three years is attached.

Measurement of Results
The most effective and efficient way to measure the effectiveness of our program is to collect
direct feedback from our beneficiaries. One action we plan on taking is developing effective
evaluation questionnaires and distributing the assessments to all girls at different time intervals.
The reason we develop multiple questionnaires consisting of different questions is that we not only
plan on measuring the immediate, short-term results of our program, but we also aim to track the
impact of our program on girls throughout their lives. However, before we start the evaluation
process, the most important thing that we must address to the girls is that these questionnaires are
strictly confidential. That is, they could even submit feedback anonymously without worrying
about any related consequences. We want to make them feel like the evaluation process is a safe
place to not only give critical feedback but also to share anything that they would like us to know
and to get help with.
A sample questionnaire that evaluates the short-term effectiveness of our workshops will
contain questions such as “How has your perspective on menstruation changed after participating
in the program?”, “What did you think of the workshop in general? Is there anything else you’d
like to learn more about?”, and finally but least “What improvements you think we can make? Any
suggestions?”. We believe that we can greatly benefit from any critical feedback so that we
understand more deeply their concerns and the topics that should be addressed.
The second questionnaire will be distributed one year after the initial evaluation. In this
questionnaire, we will focus more on how the program has impacted their lives in the past year.
Questions such as “Were there any instances over the past year that you were able to apply what
you’ve learned to the situation?”, “Would you like more information on any specific topic?”, and
“Is there anything we can do to better address any need you have?”. We believe these questions
go into more details about the true effectiveness of our program since they address actual situations
that may have taken place over a period of time, and they can inform us of any supplemental
actions that we should take to further the effectiveness of our mission.
Sunny 11

Last but not least, the third questionnaire aims to measure the long-term, lifetime result of
our program. Since our mission is not only to educate girls on physical and physiological health
but also to create a long-lasting effect on their lives, to ensure that they have a positive mindset
during their upbringing, we hope to collect feedback on the result of the program years or even
decades after our initial contact. Questions in this questionnaire will include questions such as
“How do you think the program has changed your life?”, “Has the program influenced the way
you raise your children and how?”, and “Are there any schools/communities you are aware of that
need our help or will benefit from our program?”. These questions gather information on not only
how we’ve influenced direct beneficiaries, but also their offspring, which will truly answer our
question as to whether our program has a long-lasting effect that goes beyond one generation and
can truly make a positive change in a larger context.
The end goal for our program is to make a real difference in the society, where girls won’t
be troubled by issues they don’t truly understand due to a lack of information on the topic. Thus,
it is crucial to closely follow the results of our program by regularly collecting feedback and using
data to prove that our mission has indeed been accomplished.

Challenges
We identified two major challenges that will need extra attention and careful planning,
which are: raising individual donations and collecting evaluation data. The first obstacle we face
is gaining trust from individuals, which is a difficult outcome to achieve given the negative
philanthropy environment in China. Ever since the 2011 scandal of Meimei Guo, a woman in her
twenties who held a senior position at the Red Cross Society of China, which is China’s largest
charity, appeared in photos where she possessed luxurious cars, garments, and a flaunty lifestyle,
the scandal of a corrupt charity foundation broke out and led to significant public distrust of
charities (Wong). According to The Telegraph, “Chinese charity donations fell 80 percent” ever
since the incident, and still hasn’t far from recovered (Moore). In fact, over the years, news
reporting individuals fabricating stories to scam for donations have filled up social media headlines
and furthered people’s distrust in charitable organizations.
Due to our organization’s aim to gradually decrease our reliance on government funding to
avoid fluctuations in income sources that can be caused by policy changes or local government
funding issues, we plan on making individual donations a larger component of our income source
and thus will need to overcome the public’s distrust of charitable work. To tackle this obstacle, we
decide to partner up with Chinese celebrities with high credibility who will help us advocate
through their social media platforms. The reason we choose to work with celebrities is due to
Chinese celebrities’ high brand appeal, that is, fans highly trust and support their idols and most
likely, if not always, support them by purchasing products they endorse or donating to
organizations they advocate for.
As for the second major challenge, which is collecting efficient and enough data to support
our evaluation process, we foresee challenges related to a lack of response or skewed feedback.
Since our target beneficiaries are young girls living in underdeveloped areas, exposure to
technological devices that are most commonly used to fill out questionnaires is limited, and thus
Sunny 12

making it difficult to collect long-term feedback. Furthermore, in underdeveloped areas of China,

parents most likely favor boys over girls, and according to China Daily, “when ‘parents’ only have
finances to pay for one child’s higher education, 97.5% of them would choose sons over daughters”
(Song). The high percentage means that girls are more likely to stay home and help with household
chores involuntarily instead of getting a higher education, further making it more challenging to
reach out to them as well as skewing the data by mixing in involuntary factors that impact girls’
life goals and other markers that are used to measure the effectiveness of our program.

Call to Action
Sunny is a viable solution for girls’ protection and education. With our expertise in voluntary
activities and dedication to anti-harassment, we can bring a brighter future for girls.
