There are 600 million girls in developing countries. An extra year of primary school boosts girls’ eventual wages by 10 to 20 percent. An extra year of secondary school:15 to 25 percent. (Girl Effect)
In addition, a South African study found that giving girls a $6 uniform every 18 months increased the chance they would stay in school and consequently significantly reduced the number of pregnancies (Kristoff & WuDunn, 2009).
Save a Girl, Change the World, would like to acknowledge Coalition for Adolescent Girls www.coalitionforadolescentgirls.org
