Every month, ALEX AND ANI | CHARITY BY DESIGN® partners with a specific charitable organization to create a positive impact in the lives of others. We strive to create #PeaceTogether by empowering those who refuse to let their spirits be stifled by circumstance, and by educating you, our fans, about your pivotal role in these efforts.

This month, in honor of the five year anniversary of CHARITY BY DESIGN, we connected with Plan International to highlight the Because I Am A Girl initiative, which provides support to adolescent girls all over the world fighting for their right to equal education. We’re proud to introduce Impact Tuesdays to bring awareness today, and every day.
The Because I Am A Girl initiative implements innovative programs and advocacy strategy to ensure that all girls can “learn, lead, decide and thrive.” Our partnership uplifts young girls who deserve every chance at expanding upon their greater potential by continuing their education.
Members of the ALEX AND ANI team traveled to Ethiopia with Plan International on a mission trip where they saw our partner in action and helped make a difference themselves.
Plan International notes that one in five adolescent girls around the world is denied the right to an education. Though this is an alarming ratio, data shows that global efforts like the Because I Am A Girl initiative are making a difference. It’s been determined that for every year a young woman stays in school her income will rise by 10-20%.
