Why We Care
". . . educating girls and young women delivers broad gains to families, societies and economies; one additional year of school increases a woman's earnings by 10 to 20 percent; and girls and young women with secondary schooling increase future wages by 15 to 25 percent."

“. . . the levels of achievement of women who become policymakers, entrepreneurs and community leaders are in direct correlation with their level of education; as they become educated, girls and young women become more empowered by acquiring the skills and confidence to make positive change in their communities.”
