Send a Girl to School and Unleash Her Power

Globally, 1 in 3 girls around the world are denied their right to an education by the daily realities of poverty, violence and discrimination.

Shocking right?

These girls are being denied an education right at a time when they have the power to transform their lives and the world around them.

This isn't fair. It isn't right.

As part of its Because I am a Girl initiative, Plan Canada is developing training centres in Burkina Faso, in West Africa, with a focus on giving girls access to vocational skills to empower them to make choices about their future. These programs don't charge school fees to ensure the most vulnerable girls are given a chance for a better future, but it takes the support of a global community to ensure life-changing programs like these get off the ground.

Supporting girls' education is one of the single best investments you can make to help end poverty. Pledge to spread the word and support girls around the world transforming their lives and their communities!
