Every girl has the right to an education.

When girls are educated, entire communities thrive — but 130 million girls around the world are not in school. Extreme hardships such as poverty, early marriage, and gender inequality force millions of girls to leave school far too young, making them more vulnerable to significant health risks and tragedies  including trafficking, early childbirth, and HIV/AIDS.

Secondary education changes the world, and gives girls the power of choice. When we educate girls, we change their lives, protect their health, and help them lift entire families out of poverty. 

Learn more about why educating girls is an investment in economic growth, stability, and even the health of our planet.

We’ve helped more than 8,500 at-risk girls fight insurmountable odds and reach the education every child deserves.

With a holistic approach focused on life skills-building and digital literacy training that will lead to future jobs, we set girls up for success beyond the classroom. Our education programs help 98% of enrolled girls remain in school, breaking the cycle of poverty and gender discrimination by empowering girls to stay in school past the tenth grade - a crucial threshold to their academic success and life outcomes.
