| Did you know that there are nearly 100 girls in the Rio de Janeiro community in Brazil who can't attend school because their families can't afford the $20 school uniform necessary for them to attend? Inspired Girls International is a global advocate for education and personal development in teen girls. We offer lifestyle building tools as well as mental, emotional, and physical support. We believe every girl should have the chance to attend school. In fact, we're so passionate about it that we're taking a group of teen girls from the U.S. and Canada to Rio de Janeiro for an unforgettable experience of interactive workshops, humanitarian giving, and cultural immersion.

For every additional year girls go to school, they receive 20 percent higher wages and suffer 10 percent fewer child deaths. Women with some formal education are more likely to seek medical care, ensure their children are immunized, be better informed about their children’s nutritional requirements, and adopt improved sanitation practices. As a result, their infants and children have higher survival rates and tend to be healthier and better nourished. According to The International Center for Research on Women, the education that a girl receives is the strongest predictor of the age she will marry and is a critical factor in reducing the prevalence of child marriage. The World Bank estimates that an additional year of schooling for 1,000 women helps prevent two maternal deaths. Also, each additional year of formal education that a mother completes translates to her children staying in school an additional one-third to one-half of a year."* In short, when you educate a girl, you educate a nation. You can join us in our simple, yet powerful goal of sending 100 girls in Rio de Janeiro to school with our RIO 100 project. |
