WHY
GIRLS?
Did you know that mortality rates in India greatly increases for girls under the age of five?
The truth is girls are less valued, and therefore receive less of the family resources. When abject and extreme poverty is in play, that only makes a bad situation worse. The uneducated girl is 38% more likely to marry a teenager, have an increased chance of experiencing abuse, or to fall into the 1.2 million sold into trafficking.
Education saves lives.
PACE Learning Center offers an educational day-school model focused on girls and women that creates a ripple effect of change. With a rigorous curriculum and classes in art, dance, yoga and vocational training, our graduates have a greater chance of finding economic stability in the professional world, and return to invest in the future of their community’s well being.
And that’s not all:
Education is one of the most powerful tools in human trafficking prevention.
Education gives girls the power to delay marriage and have fewer children by choice.
Education gives women the power to stand up against domestic violence.
Each year of education raises a woman’s income by 10-20%.
Women invest 90% of their income back into their families and communities.
