Why Investing in Girls’ Education Matters
When a girl stays in school for 12 years, she evades a potential early marriage. For every year that she stays in school, she can increase her income by 15–25% and she will be more likely to ensure that her daughters receive an education as well. Investing in her education increases skilled labor availability in countries and boosts economic growth and GDP. A better-educated woman is healthier and raises healthier children. Indeed, investing in a girl’s education is the smartest investment you can make.
One girl, empowered by quality education, can stir up a tidal wave of change that touches her family, her community, and eventually the world. And we’ve witnessed it.
Tanzania
Only 27% of girls complete upper secondary school in Tanzania. Let’s change that.
Pakistan
12 million girls are out of school in Pakistan. We can make a difference.
