A Year of School *** The opportunity of her life

When crisis forces families to make difficult decisions about schooling for their children, often it is young girls who are kept at home and denied a chance at a better life. In places like Afghanistan, Congo or Lebanon, including girls in schools is critical: educated girls become smart, strong women committed to leading their communities toward stability. In Afghanistan alone, we helped educate more than 13,000 girls in 2015. $58 can supply the tuition, books and other supplies a girl needs to attend school for a year.

as they build careers and businesses, was a strong linchpin in Hillary's foreign policy. Women actively participating in their countries business, educational, and political realms, leads to better conditions for everyone. This program sounds like a wonderful way to change lives.
