Investing in girls is key to eliminating poverty

Why invest in girls? A donation to Because I am a Girl gives you the multiplier effect because girls use their resources to support not only themselves, but their families and communities.

Educate a girl, and she will share her knowledge with everyone she knows.
Feed a girl, and she will feed and nurture everyone around her.
Empower a girl – she'll change the world!

You can help change the world for – and through – girls everywhere.

Girls are the answer – and so are you.
