Education is a fundamental human right, yet millions of girls around the world are denied this right simply because of their gender. At Thordis Foundation, we believe that educating girls is not just a moral imperative—it is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty that holds back entire communities.
When girls are educated, the ripple effects are profound. Educated girls are less likely to marry young and more likely to have healthier, better-educated children. They are more likely to enter the workforce, earn higher incomes, and contribute to the economic growth of their communities. In fact, research shows that for every additional year of schooling a girl receives, her future income increases by 10-20%.
But the impact of girls’ education goes beyond economics. Education empowers girls to make informed decisions about their lives, to stand up for their rights, and to contribute to the social and political life of their communities. It gives them the tools they need to break free from the cycle of poverty and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
At Thordis Foundation, we are committed to ensuring that every girl has the opportunity to receive an education. We provide the resources and support necessary to keep girls in school, from covering tuition fees to providing school supplies and transportation. By investing in girls’ education, we are investing in a future where poverty is a thing of the past.
