School Girls Unite
In some African communities, less than 25 percent of girls make it to the 7th grade, and one-third of young girls will become child brides, walking away from education and higher pursuits entirely before turning 18. Those that don’t get married off stay home to take care of family, or don’t feel safe going to school. The org School Girls Unite aims to fight education inequality. While it’s still a small organization, its ambitions are mighty, and as of their last report, they are funding the education of 20 14-year-old girls living in various African villages. They run a volunteer-based program that makes it possible for these girls to attend a full year of school for only $75.
