In the west, we have the money to support these girls. We just don't have reliable organizations on the ground to get to the parents before the girls are sold.

I'd like to see some sort of NGO able to just outright support the girls' families, provided that they are in school and unmarried until an appropriate age. Unlikely under Taliban rule, but my heart aches for these girls.
