41 million girls across the world are still denied primary education
Women account for nearly two-thirds of the world's population who cannot read
Literacy poses a huge dilemma for young girls and women across the world. In developing countries, while some women may experience nominal education in primary school, most do not reach full literacy or have the opportunity to enroll in secondary education. This is mainly due to the cost of education or lack of access to school facilities forcing families to only be able to afford to send one child to school (usually the male child).
Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war.
43% of those deaths are children under five years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.
In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water.

Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls.
Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month.
Women are responsible for 72% of the water collected in Sub-Saharan Africa.
When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.
How do we tackle the girl's and women's education gap crisis?
We are working tirelessly to ensure every young girl and woman has access to quality education, training, and the opportunity to enter the workforce to provide for their families and break the poverty cycle.
100k+
School Bags
Education is the key to breaking the inequality of young girls and women's education and 100,000+ school bags are essential tools for children to carry, organize, and monitor their schoolwork, books, writing materials, and more.
8
Countries
Numerous countries around the world are still struggling to provide young girls with an education and women with job skills which leaves them in a never-ending cycle of poverty. We are helping to end education depravity by working closely with 8 countries to ensure every child receives the education they deserve and women are provided with job training.
3
Schools
Many young girls do not attend a school or are forced to drop out due to cost or the distance needed to travel to and from school, or the fact that no school is within their community or area. We are bringing education to those who need it most with the construction of 3 schools in underserved communities allowing young girls and women to advance their education.
