Last year, Jeremy Lin partnered with One Day’s Wages to raise awareness regarding girls education and human trafficking.
”Millions of girls across the globe are unable to get the education they need to provide for themselves and their families. This is due to unaffordable school fees, forced child marriage, lack of sanitary products when they reach puberty, and many other barriers. My hope is to shed some light on these issues, and invite you to join me in taking action,” Lin wrote on the One Day’s Wages website.
He donated the equivalent of one day’s wages and $100 for every 3-pointer he made —a total of $157,750— to the group and raised the group’s profile in a number of ways, including YouTube appeals.
