Too many girls are denied an education

Watch to see how one fictional child handles the notion of not being able to go to school

School isn’t an option for too many girls, and the video below by Nestlé India reminds us how it affects children of all ages.

At Christian Children’s Fund of Canada, we believe in providing access and addressing issues such as child marriage, which keeps girls out of school and unable to get the skills they need to thrive as adults.

Watch the video showing one girl explaining how she’ll convince others to let her go to school when she gets older.

You can help support girls today. Give the gift of education for a year.
