She's the First promotes the importance of educating girls, especially in the developing world. We send girls to school around the globe by encouraging young women to unlock the power of their social networks and creatively fundraise for sponsorships, giving underprivileged girls the means to break barriers. Most will be the first in their family to graduate.
You can visit shesthefirst.org to find a non-profit that will use your donation to send a girl to school, an opportunity she otherwise would not be able to afford. Did you know that girls make up more than half of the 143 million out-of-school children and youth worldwide? Yet educating girls has the highest return on investment -- they make more money, which they reinvest into the community, they delay childbirth, they are healthier, they resist abuse, and their children are more likely to be educated too. They dream bigger.
You can join the youth-led movement known as She's the First by contributing to a sponsorship. Buying sweets through Baking for Good is just one of many creative ways to affordably fundraise. We encourage you to get to know our girls and your community of co-sponsors at http://www.shesthefirst.org. A little sugar goes a long way at Baking for Good -- and so does each year of education for a girl.
