Why all the fuss about getting more girls in school?
If you educate a girl, you can change the world. There will be less poverty, fewer cases of HIV, there will be fewer child brides and fewer cases of young girls dying in childbirth.
Education gives girls the power to make choices. The power to get an education, stay health, marry when she wants to, and have health, happy children when she is ready.
If you haven't alread seen the short video, The Girl Effect, please take a look.
The Alliance is proud to focus our education efforts on increasing the number of girls who receive a quality education.
Thanks for joining us in this important effort!
