UNITED NATIONS GIRLS EDUCATION INITIATIVE

UNGEI has a compelling mandate and we receive numerous requests from concerned individuals and groups wishing to get involved. While we continue to be inspired by the outpouring of goodwill from those wanting to help make a difference in girls' lives, unfortunately, we do not have the resources to respond to individual and group requests for volunteer opportunities, communication with school groups in specific countries, print materials for research papers, etc. Instead, we urge you to turn to the web sites of our Global Advisory Committee members, partners and the National Committees for UNICEF, many of which have outlets for such requests. We continue to seek the partnership of organizations involved in international development for collaboration at global, regional and country levels. And we welcome your continuous feedback on our web site and our work. Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for caring.
