The Ripple Effect. The investment in women and girls pays back for years to come
When women and girls are given the tools, training and support to step up and out of poverty, the ripple effect is transcending. Children have role models for better lives and relationships, opportunities for greater education and health, and bigger ideas about their role in the world. When women are skilled and employed, the economy improves. Welfare costs and crime go down. The tax base increases. The entire community becomes more attractive to new businesses. The effect on communities is sustainable and multi-generational.
