The Girl Effect is a joint pro-social project supported by the Nike Foundation and the NoVo Foundation to create opportunities for girls in developing nations.
Why Girls?
Because
there’s poverty, and war, and hunger, and AIDS, and because when
adolescent girls in the developing world have a chance, they can be the
most powerful force of change for themselves, their families,
communities, countries, and even the planet.
But while those
600 million adolescent girls are the most likely agents of change, they
are often invisible to their societies and the world.
So what
can you do about that? Help make girls visible. Tell the world that you think the 600 million girls in the
developing world deserve better – for themselves, and for the end of
poverty.
