Dora’s Backpack

Backpacks aren’t just for climbing mountains — they are for all types of explorers. So it’s no surprise that girls around the world use them now on their long journeys to get to school. Thanks to Paramount’s support, we are providing girls with backpacks and school supplies, setting them up for success in school and beyond. But there are so many more girls who need your help. By purchasing a backpack, you can help to give girls the skills and tools they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. So they can become leaders, changemakers and explorers. And keep on climbing!
