The Light of Education: Empowering Girls and WomenImagine a world where every girl has the right to go to school. Where every thirsty throat, from the formulas of science to the beauty of literature, can quench its thirst without any hindrance. A world where half of the population has the full right to spread the wings of their aspirations and fly their dreams.
