For girls and women living in poverty, education is not only the key to a brighter future it is also a key to survival.
Using education as a primary strategy, the Girls' & Women's Education Initiative aims to harness the potential of girls and women to learn, lead and act on their vision of change for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Consider this:
Women in Sub-Saharan Africa are more than 1.5 times as likely as men to contract HIV.
Millions of women in America have difficulty understanding practical health information.
More than 10,000 girls a day will get married before they turn 15.
