There is no tool for development more effective than the education of girls.”

Educating Impoverished Girls

Compassion Beyond Borders funds the education of poor and vulnerable girls in Cameroon, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Peru, and Ukraine. Educating girls is the single most effective means for achieving human development and overcoming poverty according to the United Nations, the World Bank and UNICEF.

Compassion Beyond Borders supports local grass-roots organizations that know the educational needs of girls in their community and how to best meet them. CBB’s projects are carefully administered to ensure their accountability and effective development.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why Girls?

  • Today’s girls are the world’s future mothers. An educated woman has fewer children, healthier children, and better educated children, both girls and boys. That’s three ways poverty is reduced–and this doesn’t happen if only the father is educated.
  • Educated girls and women contribute to the political, social and economic development of their community. Uneducated girls and women are the world’s most under-used resource.
  • Impoverished girls commonly become single mothers needing an education to parent and provide for their children.
  • For further discussion, See “Educating Girls”.

Compassion Beyond Borders is a federal 501(c)(3) organization, so donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
