BE THE DIFFERENCE – YOU CAN DO IT

Need more evidence that girls’ education matters? Here are some powerful facts from one of my favourite organizations, Room to Read.

Whether or not a girl stays in school has an astounding effect on not simply her quality of life, but that of her future family and community.

  • Educated women earn more 
    • Providing girls with one extra year of education beyond average boosts her wages by 10-20%. 
  • Educated women are healthier
    • ​​​​​​​An extra year of girls’ education can reduce infant mortality by 5-10% and can reduce the spread of illness and disease.  
  • Educated women help their country’s economy 
    • When 10% more girls go to school, a country’s GDP increases, on average, by 3%.
