Global 5K is a RUN that is held all over the world by Girl Up clubs to raise funds for UNFPA programs in Girl Up's focus countries, such as India, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Liberia, Malawi, and Uganda. This year we will be raising funds for UNFPA Programs here in India. Girl Up supports the Action for Adolescent Girls initiative, run by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The goal of the program is to protect adolescent girls’ rights.
