*Educating girls can save millions of lives: Educated mothers are less likely to die in childbirth. Educated mothers seek health care. Education keeps hunger away. Malnutrition is the underlying cause of over a third of global child deaths. Educated mothers are more likely to ensure that their children receive the best nutrients. 2.1 million children under 5 were saved between 1990-2009 because of improvements in girls’ education. Empower girls through education today.
