In rural Segou, most girls are subject to female genital mutilation and marry as soon as they are able to bear a child. Most families believe that it is not worth investing in a girl’s education since she will be married and given to the husband’s family and potentially not seen again. We know that when you educate a girl in Africa, everything changes. She’ll be three times less likely to get HIV/AIDS, earn 25 percent more income, and have a smaller, healthier family. ADRA will work to change the attitudes of schoolteachers, parents, and school management committees. In addition, by covering the school fees and cost of school materials, ADRA will ensure that girls will be in school! How many girls will you send to school?
