Educating girls has a wide array of positive benefits that affect not only the girl receiving her education, but to the entire nation. Statistics say that women make up 2/3 of the illiterate in the world.  

So what difference would it make if all women had a chance to get an education? 

-Female genital mutation avoided
-Decline in infant/children mortality rates
-A child born to a literate mother is 50% more likely to survive past the age of 5
-With each year of schooling, a girl will significantly increase earning potential from 5%-15%
-Women can stand up for their rights
-Less violence
-Health would improve significantly
-Reduced HIV/AIDS Infection rate

Please take a moment to watch a video of Hannah, one of the girls that received a scholarship through your support. Hannah is happily learning and progressing in school. Because of your support, young ladies like Hannah are receiving not only an education, but also a chance for a better future - for themselves and their families.

Thanks so much for helping to give them the opportunity of a brighter future.
