Education has helped all of us to become who we are today. In school we learn how to speak up, how to overcome hardships, and how to pursue our boldest dreams. Receiving an education empowers young people to change the world.
Unfortunately, more than 62 million girls around the globe are currently denied the right to an education and the chance to make their dreams a reality.
When a young girl can’t go to school she is more vulnerable to violence, poverty, and disease. But it doesn’t just hurt girls: it affects their families, their communities – even their countries. Investing in girls’ education is an essential way to invest in a better world. When girls have the chance to learn, they raise healthier families, earn higher salaries and contribute more to their nations’ economies.
Will you take action to help girls around the world to get the education they need?
