Girls' Education can change the World

 Girls’ education can change them, their families and the world.


Girls have the same hopes and dreams as boys. They want to learn, they want to work, they want to help their families and communities.
But too often girls around the world are treated as second-class citizens. They are denied their right to education and their chance to fulfil their potential. About 63 million of them do not go to school.
In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the birth rate among girls with secondary education is four times lower than those with no education.

Education also enables girls and women to overcome child labour, other exploitative work and child marriage, and helps them learn how to claim their social and economic rights.
Educated girls can make informed choices - and from a far better range of options. Educating girls saves lives and builds stronger families, communities and economies.
An educated female population increases a country's productivity and fuels economic growth. Some countries lose more than $1 billion a year by failing to educate girls to the same level as boys.
An African proverb says ''the education of a girl is the education of the society".
Lets help them to make the world a better place for all.
