The world is a mess. Agree or Disagree?
Poverty.
AIDS.
Hunger.
War.
So what else is new?
What if there was an unexpected solution that could turn this sinking ship around?
Would you even know it if you saw it?
It’s not the internet.
It’s not science.
It’s not the government.
It’s not money.
It’s…a girl.
Imagine a girl living in poverty.
No, go ahead. Really.
Imagine her.
Girl, baby, husband, hunger, HIV.
Now, pretend you can fix this picture.
Girl.
Ok. Now she has a chance.
Let’s put her in a school uniform
And see her get a loan to buy a cow
And use her profits from the milk to help her family.
Pretty soon, her cow becomes a herd.
And she become the business owner
Who brings clean water to the village
Which makes the men respect her good sense
And invite her to the village council
Where she convinces everyone
That all girls are
Valuable.
