WE’RE CHANGING THE WORLD, ONE GIRL AT A TIME.
When you educate a girl, she’ll change the world. An educated girl is three times less likely to contract HIV / AIDS. She‘ll marry later and have fewer, healthier children. For every extra year of schooling, her income will increase by 10 – 25 percent. Not only that, she’ll reinvest 90 percent of the money she earns back into her family. Educating a girl has a ‘multiplier effect’. An educated girl can change the world.
WHY GIRLS?
More than 60 million girls around the world don’t attend school. In fact, more than half of the world’s girls are illiterate. Girls that aren’t educated are extremely vulnerable. We’re talking early marriage (as young as 11), sexual abuse, early pregnancy, and a life of poverty. But it doesn’t have to look like this.
