DID YOU KNOW THAT 60 MILLION GIRLS ARE NOT IN SCHOOL?
I’m DOING IT IN A DRESS TO CHANGE IT.
Hi. I’m Dave.
In a school uniform.
A girl's school uniform.
As you do.
Why, you may justifiably ask?
Because I'm supporting OneGirl, an amazing non-profit organisation that (amongst other things) provides educational scholarships to the girls who most need it, in the poorest rural communities around the world.
When you educate a girl, she'll change the world.
During my travels I've seen the impact firsthand of education and hope for the future for girls who had neither, and that's why I'm throwing my support behind OneGirl.
Please help support the incredible work that OneGirl do by donating, and you too can have the "pleasure" of seeing me hot and sweaty in a girl's school uniform. As it were.
Go on, donate - you know you'll love it...

Do It In A Dress is an initiative of One Girl, a non-profit organisation that empowers women and girls to create change in their communities. Our goal is to raise $40,000 so we can provide education scholarships for 100 girls in Sierra Leone. Do It In A Dress will also provide startup funding for LaunchPad, a social enterprise that will provide low cost, eco-friendly sanitary pads to women and girls living in rural areas. You can read more about our work here.
It only costs $250 (USD) for a year of education for one girl. If you want to support girls in Sierra Leone, you can..
