How It Works

VOW for Girls provides a variety of ways for engaged couples and wedding professionals to give back with their weddings and wedding businesses. 100% of the funds raised goes directly to grassroots efforts to end child marriage. Efforts include advancing girls’ rights by providing education, job training, and vital life skills. Over 177 community-based organizations in six countries currently receive grants, and 85% of those grantees are women-led organizations.

Traditionally, wedding gift lists and wedding registries are standard during a couples’ engagement – but that is changing! Maybe you are just looking to gather friends and family to celebrate your love, or your apartment can’t take anymore “stuff.” We often hear from our engaged couples that they received so many gifts during their engagement and showers that by the time their wedding comes around, they have more than they need already and their wedding registry is already purchased. Whatever your reason for wanting to support a worthwhile cause, VOW for Girls provides an option to do more with your wedding.

How They Did It

By adding VOW to their existing Zola registry, Lexie and Cameron were able to support a cause they care about, and still share any desired wedding gift lift items with friends and family.

“To be honest, VOW and their mission weren’t always on our radar, maybe because child marriage simply isn’t something we hear people talk much about. But we hope that having VOW as part of our wedding has started some conversations about an issue that demands more attention. Once we learned about VOW, it was an easy decision to add this to our wedding registry. Through the organization and the generosity of our wedding guests, we feel like we are helping to give girls around the world the chance to build their own futures.”
