Education is a vital tool for empowerment that allows meaningful contributions to society. According to UNICEF, girls' education does not only bring the immediate benefit of empowering girls, but is seen as the best investment in a country's development.
Education helps girls to develop essential life skills including self confidence, the ability to participate effectively in society and protect themselves from HIV/ AIDS and other sexual exploitations. UNICEF further asserts that girls' education also helps in cutting children and maternal mortality rates, contributing to national wealth and controlling disease and health status.
Children of educated women are likely to go to school. Consequently, this has exponential positive effects on education and poverty education for generations to come. One very important aim of every family is to raise healthy and productive individuals who will contribute meaningfully to society.
This can be achieved through the education of the girl-child who is the mother of tomorrow
