The Girl Effect Task Force raises funds to support girls’ education in parts of the world where it is most needed and has the greatest impact.  We now have ongoing commitments to the Kibera Girls’ Soccer Academy in an impoverished section of Nairobi, Kenya and to female San Lucas Toliman Scholars in rural Guatemala. Education gives a girl more control over her life, helps delay marriage and pregnancy, and improves future earnings, her own health, and the health of her children. We are inspired by the Unitarian Sixth Principle of world-wide justice, as well as the guideline of Girl Effect, a global non-profit:  “Girls are the most powerful force for change on the planet.”  We welcome new members and ideas in the work of raising money for these projects.
