We believe that all women are entitled to a complete, funded education, a belief that is supported by overwhelming research demonstrating the capacity of women's education to promote healthier, more prosperous communities. By removing barriers to girls' staying in school and equipping women with the skills they need to make the most of their education, we hope to allow Togolese women to reach their full to potential as agents of change.
"So let us be clear up front: We hope to recruit you to join an incipient movement to emancipate women and fight global poverty by unlocking women's power as economic catalysts . . . It is a change that is already taking place, and change that can accelerate if you'll just open your heart and join in."
