“If we are going to see real development in the world then our best investment is WOMEN!”
-Desmond Tutu

“There is no greater pillar of stability than a strong, free, and educated woman.”
– Angelina Jolie
An investment in girls’ education is an investment in their future and their communities. Women’s participation in society is key to development; literate women contribute to their countries’ economic prosperity and security.
Women with secondary school-level education can expect to earn twice as much as their counterparts with no education at all, empowering them to support themselves and their families, breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Without reading and writing skills, women can be limited to occupations focused on childcare and housework, which are often unpaid or underpaid.
“When women are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.”
– Michelle Obama

“You know, we’re in a sports center. Imagine if you have a team and you don’t let half of the team play. That’s stupid. That makes no sense. And the evidence shows that communities that give their daughters the same opportunities as their sons, they are more peaceful, they are more prosperous, they develop faster, they are more likely to succeed.”
– Barack Obama
