Why Educate Girls?
Educated women make a powerful difference in the world.
Educated women not only lead better lives themselves, they are more likely to improve their communities and to positively impact their children’s health and education.
Healthier, Educated Children
The single biggest factor in reducing the mortality rate among children under five is more education for women. Also, educated women are twice as likely to send their kids to school establishing a precedent for the generations that follow.
A Better Life for the Girls
Eduated women lead longer, healthier lives. They are less likely to suffer domestic violence, or face discrimination or exploitation. Educated women are 66% less likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth. And of course they have better earning capability with an education.
Stronger Communities
An educated woman invests nearly all (90%) of her income into strengthening her family and community. Educating women is strongly correlated with improving a social and economic well-being for the community.
Improved Climate, Healthier World
Educated women create better environmental outcomes than many green initiatives do! Educated women are vocal climate advocates but also improve climate footprints through smaller, healthier families.
