Feel Good Friday…The Girl EffectThere are 600 million adolescent girls across the globe. Too many of them live in poverty and if things don’t change the cycle of poverty will continue on to the next generation and the next and the next.
This video explains some of that:

The page has a couple links that you can visit that will give you even more information about what they are up to in order to shift this paradigm. There are other organization that are doing similar things…Heifer International comes to mind. Heifer provides domesticated animals to families (mostly women) to help lift them out the cycle of poverty. There are many ways to help end poverty and most of them don’t have much to do with throwing money at the problem! Money doesn’t empower people, education does.
