The Girl Effect is a social project based on the fact that girls are the most likely agents of change. The association was created by the Nike fundation.
The global idea is to show that investing in girls can make a change, creating a virtous circle. Indeed, many studies have stressed out how the role of women can play a big part in the development of the whole economy. This is exactly the thesis of Mohammad Yunus when he created the “Grameen Bank“ in Bangladesh, giving to women access to micro-credit, to finance their own projects.
The Girl Effect has also integrated social media into its communication, creating a Facebook Page that you can join here, and you can also donate for the fundation here.
