What is VOW Pro?

Before we share how Diana joined the VOW Pro community, let’s take a step back and explain what that really means. The VOW Pro Network is specifically designed for wedding professionals and wedding-aligned businesses. By joining VOW Pro, you will expand girls’ access to education, encourage girls to become leaders in their communities, and shift social norms and perceptions of girls around the world. Become a VOW Pro Member and join our global network to support and celebrate girls choosing love on their own terms.

There are a variety of ways to activate VOW into your business and added benefits in doing so including a badge to display on your website showing your support to end child marriage, social media assets, opportunities for you and your couples to be featured by VOW on social media, our email newsletter, or in media stories and more!

For a donation of less than one dollar a day, $30 per month or $360 annually, your membership will not only welcome you into this generous community of wedding professionals, but can cover all of the costs to send two girls to school for a full year - from school fees to supplies and transportation! 🎉

How did you hear about VOW for Girls?

“I don’t remember! I think somewhere on social media, I must have seen your [VOW’s] work through a wedding industry colleague.”

‍

‍

How do you support VOW through your business?

“With every wedding booking, I make a donation to VOW in the couple’s name. I let them know they are making a difference by choosing to support us as well.”

Why did you choose to support VOW with your business?

“What I love about weddings is that they are meant to be heartfelt, beautiful events in which close groups of friends and families celebrate in the name of love, and two people decide for themselves what they want and who they want to spend their lives with. So when I learned about child marriage, I realized not every wedding is a joyous event for everyone in the world, and I knew that supporting VOW was an important mission for my business. It made sense that being in the wedding industry, I’d have the perfect platform to financially support with donations but also to spread awareness about this issue.”
