From now until March 27th, any gift you make to BRAC's Safe Spaces and Loans for Teenage Girls in Tanzania or Bangladesh will be fully matched by Global Giving as part of their WomenX2 Campaign!There are 600 million adolescent girls living in poverty in the developing world. These two projects benefit a fraction of these girls in Tanzania and Bangladesh. Safe Spaces seeks to reduce the inequalities and gender discrimination, increase sociability, improve educational attainments, economically empower teenage girls, reduce early marriage and its harmful effects and enhance health awareness and practices.
When a girl is educated, she marries four years later and has 2.2 fewer children. The population’s overall HIV rate goes down, malnutrition decreases 43% and 10% more girls attend secondary school. Furthermore, the economy grows 3% more and, when a girl earns income, she reinvests 90% of it in her family as opposed to 35% for a man.

A compliment is a gift, not to be thrown away carelessly, unless you want to hurt the giver.
