Investing in girls' education is the most effective mean of reducing poverty. Girls who complete secondary school lead better, healthier lives and are more likely to educate their children, ending the cycle of illiteracy and poverty.
Girls' education is a cause worth spreading. Help our campaign by using the hashtag #caseforgirls on Twitter and Instagram.

Children of Vietnam provides kindergarten facilities, primary and secondary school scholarships, bikes to get to school, college scholarships, and tutoring for orphans and street children. There is no better way to build a future for a child than to provide an education.
