At Develop Africa we have received a multitude of books and school supplies and we are so grateful for the outpouring of generosity.  We have a problem though....some of these wonderful supplies are sitting in our corporate headquarters instead of in the hands of the many children that desperately need these supplies....the reason is as simple as it is expensive....shipping costs.  

Thanks to a generous grant from GlobalGiving, we are now providing educational training and psycho-social support to pregnant girls. With this educational lifeline, the ladies are able to continue to develop themselves - while out of formal school. You can read more here -http://www.CreatingPathways.net/

Per UNICEF, In country after country, educating girls yields spectacular social benefits for the current generation and those to come. An educated girl tends to marry later and have healthier children. The children she does have will be more likely to survive; they will be better nourished and better educated. She will be more productive at home and better paid in the workplace.
