Donor story – Paula Gallagher

This blog post is part of “20 Years, 20 Stories,” a series celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 60 million girls Foundation. Over the next eight months, we will share the stories of the people who have shaped our journey — volunteers, partners, donors, and the girls at the heart of our mission. We hope their voices inspire you as much as they inspire us.

In this special anniversary message, Paula Gallagher reflects on her 16 years as a volunteer and donor with 60 million girls — a journey that began with a chance meeting with founder Wanda in Mozambique in 2005. From establishing the BC branch to witnessing the ripple effects of literacy and empowerment around the world, Paula’s story is a powerful reminder of the difference one person — and one organization — can make.
