I promise to hold children dear to the same principles as the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child. According to my best ability and judgment; I will keep this promise to all my colleagues.

I will to the best of my ability share knowledge and resources at no charge in order to be able to provide others in the pursuit of helping girl children.

I will follow my best instincts, experience, and intelligence to work hard in order to not knowingly harm or to cause additional harm to the plight of girl children.

I will go to the benefit of all children, females as well as males. My career will be dedicated to improve the lives of girl children that need help the most.

Girl children should be able to look to us as an example of tolerance, understanding and love. I promise to work so that all girl children gain their security, education, human rights, freedom, health, and future, with self-respect and dignity along with economic and spiritual prosperity is the standard that I will live by.

Keeping in mind that all traditions, cultures and customs when practiced in love is a safeguard for the child and their family, and that cultural diversity enriches all of humanity in the process.
