Overview

  • Education contributes to the emancipation of the young girl and allows her to escape early marriage. Today, an educated girl is a leader for her generation. Education therefore not only contributes to his personal development but also guarantees his future.

    Investing in girls' education generates economic and social benefits. The education of the young girl contributes to the increase of her personal income and reduces poverty in the community.

    If girl children in Africa go to school, the rate of early marriage would decrease by 64% ( Girls' education | Basic education and gender equality | UNICEF ). If the early marriage of girls is prohibited, the birth rate will fall.

    School is a way to give every woman a chance for success. Through education, some of the women we will briefly mention have made history.
