We aim to help young girls get the education they deserve, making a lasting impact in her family and the nation.

In sub-Saharan Africa:

24 million girls can’t afford to go to school.

A girl may marry as young as 13 and has a one in 22 chance of dying in childbirth.

One in six of her children will die before the age of five.

Research shows that if you educate a girl she’ll:

Earn up to 25% more and reinvest 90% into her family.

Be three times less likely to become HIV positive.

Have fewer, but healthier children who are 40% more likely to see life past the age of five.

If you educate a man, you educate an individual. But if you educate a woman, you educate a nation.
