Girls truly have the power to change the world, and girls'
education provides perhaps the single highest return on
investment in the developing world:
* Educated girls tend to marry later
* They are better paid in the workplace
* They have fewer, healthier children
* They are more likely to send their own children to school
* They are better able to protect themselves against HIV
* They assume a more active role in social, economic and
political decision-making throughout their lives
In short, investing in girls' education yields spectacular social benefits for the current generation as well as those to come.
