This International Women’s Day, I’m proud to stand with @roomtoread , supporting the incredible potential that emerges when girls have the chance to learn and lead through education.
Partnering with Room to Read, I’ve learned a lot about this and many other issues over the past few weeks and realized how much I still have to learn. Today, 122 million girls are still out of school. In historically low-income countries, only 66 girls complete upper secondary school for every 100 boys. Countries lose over $1 billion a year by failing to educate girls to the same level as boys. Without action, millions of girls will continue to be left behind.
This month, the goal is to raise US$150,000, enough to support 600 girls for a full year of secondary school. Donations to @roomtoread are being generously matched by @swarovskifoundation , doubling the impact.
If this speaks to you, the link to donate is in my bio. Even the smallest support makes a difference. Thank you ❤️
