I cannot say enough good things about this organization!!!

Coalition for Adolescent Girls: “The Coalition for Adolescent Girls (CAG) brings together more than 30 international organizations that design, implement and evaluate programs that benefit girls throughout the developing world who are trapped in cycles of poverty. When adolescent girls are educated, healthy and financially literate, they can create lasting change within communities and end generations of poverty”.

The organization is involved in 5 main initatives:1. Girls Count; 2.) Education; 3.) Health; 4.) Voice; 5.) MAPS. These 5 initiatives are pivotal to helping to raise awareness for girls and young women in developing countries.

Why Girls? “BECAUSE THEY'RE READY TO CHANGE OUR WORLD! She is the world’s most powerful force for change. An adolescent girl stands at the doorway of adulthood. If she stays in school, remains healthy, and gains skills, she will marry later, have fewer and healthier children, and earn an income that she’ll invest back into her family”.
