Problem

Girls make up two-thirds of those denied a basic education, according to the United Nations. As a result, 75 percent of the world's illiterate adults today are women.

The Gift

This gift will help provide the financing and resources that will allow Opportunity International to continue its expansion of Microschools™ - an innovation that was started in July 2006. Attendance in school has been linked to increased protection of children, especially girls, against exploitation, making them less vulnerable to the cruelties associated with child labor and sex trafficking. As a result of your support, girls in the developing world, particularly Africa, China and India, will have the opportunity to attain an education at a Microschool™.
