Educated girls help build a healthier family, stronger community and a brighter future. But 62 million girls are not in school. Half of them are adolescents. Countries with more girls in secondary school have lower maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates, lower rates of HIV/AIDS, and better child nutrition. Pray for: the five-year education programmes funded by USAID in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Liberia’s initiative ‘Girls’ Opportunities to Access Learning’; Malawi’s ‘Girls’ Empowerment through health and education activity; Jordan, where USAID provides training and materials to supervisors and teachers who are coping with large numbers of Syrian refugee students; and Bangladesh and Ethiopia, where human rights groups work to stop girls being married before the age of fifteen. The list is long: El Salvador, Georgia, Rwanda, Afghanistan are a few more places where girls with potential to change their world for the better need opportunities to grow.
