Educate Girls Globally

Research has proven time and time again that investing in girls and women is essential for economic growth and social achievement. When women and girls are educated, the birthrate falls, family health improves, literacy increases because an educated mother is more likely to send her children to school, political extremism and violence decline, and national income grows (EGG, 2010).

Save a Girl, Change the World gives recognition the organization Educate Girls Globally (EGG).

The Educate Girls Globally team is small, close-knit, highly experienced and very focused on our mission to provide opportunities for women and girls to achieve their full potential, recognizing that educated women are the world’s most powerful agents of social change (EGG, 2010).

Girls matter because they are human beings. Girls have equal rights to human dignity, self-determination, freedom from violence, good health, education, and participation in economic and political life (Global & Investment Action Agenda, 2009).

The wellbeing of girls is vital for societies—and protecting girls’ rights and fostering their opportunities is the right strategy for economic development (Global & Investment Action Agenda, 2009).
