• 495,000 of the most vulnerable girls living in fragile and conflict-affected contexts

Why girls� education

Educating girls is one of the most cost effective and impactful investments we can make, with intergenerational benefits.

A child whose mother can read is:

• 50% more likely to live beyond the age of 5
• 50% more likely to be immunised, and
• twice as likely to attend school themselves ^{[footnote 1]}

Girls� education boosts incomes and develops economies. With just one additional school year, a woman’s earnings can increase by a fifth, creating a more prosperous world for all.
