To Educate a Girl

I saw an awesome documentary called To Educate a Girl. The documentary is about girls in Nepal and Uganda who are out of school, starting school, or fighting to stay in school. I knew that in certain countries education was a difficult thing to access but it is a completely different thing seeing these girls and hearing there stories. There are many reasons why girls aren't able to go to school but it has been proven that when a group of girls within a community get educated a community thrives more. 


According to The World Bank, when girls receive an education they have healthier and fewer babies because they are more informed about family planning. Another benefit of girls attending school is that the girl will make more money in her lifetime than she would with limited education. Another reason would be that, according to the Basic Education Coalition, that women tend to put their money back into the home to better their families.  
 
This documentary was amazing and eye opening. Unlike some documentaries it was educational but also extremely interesting to the point where you get invested into these girls lives and sincerely want the best for them. I would definitely recommend everyone watch it.
