The Girl Effect

Came across a very enlightening video descibing the effect prolonged poverty has human lives , especially in small villages , and how a single person can work break this !! . The concept is christened the Girl Effect, and the idea behind it is to illustrate how life of a single  girl effects the lives of many others (her children, husband, brother, sister, mother, etc..). As an educated mother, citizen, entrepreneur and employee, she can make a difference.

For Example :

"When girls and women earn income, they reinvest 90% into their families , as copared to only 30-40 % for a man"

"An extra year of primary school boosts a girl's future wages by around 10-20 %"

"An extra year of secondary school boosts a girl's future wages by around 15-20 %"
