The Girl Effect
Bill #IC07437838A
Give a girl in a developing country $20 and amazing things can happen. She makes it grow. She educates herself. She reinvests it to support her family. She raises the standard of living for herself, her family, her community and her country. It’s called the Girl Effect.
But too many girls are not given this chance. They’re forced into marriage at an impossibly young age, forbidden to go to school, and they become susceptible to contracting HIV. They have no control over the path they’ve been forced to take.
I decided to support this organization because I believe in empowering girls to make this world a better place, and because a little goes a very long way. Please visit their website and learn more.
