Girls Education in Math and Science

Why Educate Young Women

By empowering these little girls at a young age, they become successful, the society benefits.
Essentially, we all benefit.

million girls are not in school, globally.

million girls of primary school age not in school.

million of these girls will probably never attend the school in their lifetimes.

%

of children who are born to a mother who cannot read or write are not likely to survive past the age of 5.

Mission

Education is the foundation of success. Many girls who aren’t able to become educated in math and science because of their financial status could have become some of the most excelling doctors, scientists, and engineers, if given the chance. When one girl is given the opportunity to learn, she will eventually pass on her knowledge to her family and others. Therefore, helping one girl, helps generations of girls to have a chance to learn, raise healthier families, earn greater salaries, and most importantly, rise above and shine like the ‘gems’ that they truly are.

Vision

Giving under privileged girls a guiding hand in education.
