Investing in women and girls is an investment in a nation's future.
Diana is a case in point. She teaches basic skills, self-esteem and leadership to disadvantaged girls in southern Nigeria. Watch the video and see how, by providing an education to these girls, Diana expands their opportunities to live healthy, productive lives.
These girls now have the tools to create lasting change, starting with their families and then transforming entire communities and beyond. When we give women training and support, we give them the power to cause change around the world.
But it doesn't end there. By providing women and girls the skills to expand their economic opportunity, we see huge dividends for nations. Research shows that women are more likely to share their economic gains with members of their families and communities at large, helping to eradicate poverty and putting nations on a faster track for development.
Women leaders like Diana are the key to eradicating poverty, improving family health, and creating lasting change around the world. Because when women move forward, the world moves with them.
Show your support for investing in women's leadership worldwide. Pledge now to watch Diana's video and use our Tell-a-Friend tool to share it with five friends.
