"Educate a woman and you educate a family. Educate a girl and you educate a nation."
Studies show that if girls in developing countries stay in school to receive a secondary education.. they will earn $2000 more per year. Multiply her increased income by the 600 million girls in developing and emerging countries and you get $1.2 trillion... enough to end poverty and stabilize countries. Yet.. 99.4% of all international money is not directed toward girls. ~ Global River
"When women and girls earn income.. they reinvest 90 percent of it into their families.. as compared to only 30 to 40% for a man."

Organizations have begun to work together to reverse the cruel realities of educational inequality.. empowering girls to become tomorrow’s future leaders. This is so good to see.
