Born in Sierra Leone, statistics are against little Mary. But education can change everything.
This is more than a quote, it's a fundamental truth.
When a girl is educated, her future changes.
Here is why:
Girls who attend school are more likely to oppose FGM, than girls who haven't had the chance to receive an education. They are more likely not to cut their own daughters.
Girls with education are 4 times less likely to be married as children.
Each extra year of a mother’s education reduces the probability of infant mortality by 5% to 10%
Educated mothers pass on their education and are more than twice as likely to send their children to school.
EDUCATION DOES CHANGE EVERYTHING.
