From World Vision’s Site:
She is a girl in a developing country.
She is denied access to education and forced into early marriage.
She is a woman who is denied land ownership rights and treated like property.
But if given the opportunity, she will give back to her family and to her community, creating a ripple effect of positive change. This is why we work in some of the most difficult places in the world to be a woman – because change is possible.
With your partnership, we’re changing the lives of women and girls living in poverty through integrated programs. Learn more.
