In 2004, Susan Hughes founded the Baby Girl Project – a non-profit located in Richmond, Virginia.  Susan currently serves as president on the Baby Girl Project’s Board of Directors. The goal of the Baby Girl Project is to provide an education for children, especially girls, who would otherwise not receive an education in this remote part of the world.  The Baby Girl Project is a Champion partner with WE (formally named Free the Children), an organization of children helping children based in Toronto, Canada.  Oprah’s Angel Network, Adobe Foundation, MTV, Degrassi and many others also share in this very special partnership with Free the Children.

To date, the Baby Girl Project has raised over $498,450 and has funded the building of 42 schools, 1 library and 1 clean water project.  The Baby Girl Project also contributed $8,000 to the 2011 famine relief efforts in the Masai Mara region of Kenya, Africa.  In addition to building schools, the Baby Girl Project provides health kits, books, school supplies, uniforms, and teacher salaries to this region of Africa.

We need your help! We are looking for volunteers for our Psychic Festival Fundraisers. If you are a skilled reader or healer, please contact us below. In addition, we also need greeters and schedulers. We could not do this without our wonderful volunteers. We are so excited to start fundraising for our 43rd school!
