Girls Education International
The mission of Girls Education International is to expand and support educational opportunities for under-served females in remote and undeveloped regions of the world.
We envision a world where educational opportunities for women and girls are equal to those typically afforded boys and men, and thus provide the foundation for healthier and prosperous societies that reflect their unique cultural differences.
