What is the Sound of Girl Effect?

4 October 2011 One Comment

Okay, unless you are under a rock, you’ve heard of Girl Effect, a worldwide campaign to put opportunity into the hands of girls in developing countries.

What’s the sound of girl effect?

Is it the sound of women in a woman-owned beauty parlor in Africa?

Is it the sound of girls answering questions at a school?

Is it the sound of money clinking into the hand of a woman who earned it herself?

Are they the sounds of women planning their own businesses?

Is it the sound of countries really developing, coming up out of hardship and into prosperity?

Yep. Girl Effect happens one person at a time. And one sound at a time. It happens one dollar at a time.

Give, Write, Read and Listen

Give: to a non-profit associated with girl effect. Or give to a local charity that helps girls.
And write about your experiences around girl effect, your thoughts about women worldwide, your thoughts about the potential in every girl.

Write: You can add your blog post here at Tara Mohr’s site: Girl Effect Posts
