The Girl Effect

I was sent this by a friend today and thought it was quite powerful so I wanted to share it with all of you.

Interesting. I'm not very knowledgeable on this subject, but I've read a bit in the past on micro-loans, and the positive effects they can have on developing economies. Very much like this idea.

Hope life is slowing down for you guys a bit as the holidays approach!

There is a program through church called the Heifer Project. Although not aimed specifally at girls, the premise is: if you give a family a cow, water buffalo etc, then the family can provide food for themselves, expand the herd, sell off excess etc. sounds similiar, no?

Love,
