“The Girl Effect: The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.

WHY GIRLS?

Because when adolescent girls in the developing world have a chance, they can be the most powerful force of change for themselves, their families, communities and nations.

But while those 600 million girls are the most likely agents of change, they are invisible to their societies and the world.”

The Girl Effect is an organization that connects girls whose voices need to be heard with those who are wiling to listen and help. I am posting their video (and the message above) because I think it is pretty amazing stuff. I admire the work this organization is doing.

And I believe their message.

At St. Mary Kevin Orphanage in Kajjansi, Uganda, several girls have been given a chance at education - something they likely would not otherwise have - because of the kindness of friends of Change of Truth. They are:

Abbas
Scovia
Catherine
Sheila
Rachael
Latifah
Amanda
Rosette
Kate
Pauline
Isabella
Samalie

We need to continue to be there for these girls… and for the younger girls coming up. Watch the Girl Effect video and get inspired to help – the girls from St. Mary Kevin or girls from any of the organizations The Girl Effect assists. It just makes so much sense.
