Unleash the Power in Every Girl

Of the 1.4 billion people living in extreme poverty across the world, 70% are women and girls. Girls are also three times as likely as boys to be malnourished. And, in the poorest countries of the world, as many as 65 million girls are not attending either primary or secondary school.

Investing in girls is key to eliminating poverty and creating a safer, brighter future for everyone. When girls are educated, healthy and informed, they pull themselves, their children and their communities out of poverty.

If 10% more girls attend school, a country’s GDP increases by an average of 3%!

Empower a girl and she'll change the world for everyone around her.

By supporting Plan Canada, you're offering girls nourishment, education and protection, and opening up opportunities so that girls can lead themselves and their families out of poverty.Together we can create a world where every girl has the chance to harness her unique power to shape her own future and change the world!
