I am living proof that when you educate a girl, it creates a ripple effect.💧→🌊

We are like candles that light each other to shine. The more we are, the brighter we shine.🌟—Yvonne, Zimbabwe

Let’s clear a few things up about #GirlsEducation:
❌Only benefits the girl
❌Too expensive
❌Doesn’t impact global issues

✅When girls learn, communities rise
✅Excluding girls costs countries billions
✅Education drives global solutions

#NowIsTheTime more people knew this! 💯
