Why Girls' Education?

In Malawi today, girls’ education is an emergency. 42% of our girls are married before the age of 18 and 9% before the age of 15. Girls in secondary school face considerable barriers in accessing education. Many lack the resources to stay in school, resulting in high rates of early marriage, teen pregnancy, and school dropout. With these situations, only 14% of girls finish secondary school.
