Why classroom access alone is not enough for girls' long-term success
In short: Education is a vital first step, but true empowerment requires more than just a seat in a classroom. This talk explores how a continuous support network can transform lives far beyond graduation.
Education activist Angeline Murimirwa, a 2023 Audacious Project grantee, argues that schooling is merely the beginning of a girl's journey. She explains that for girls—particularly those in areas with limited educational access—a dedicated support network is essential from their first day in school through many years after they graduate.
The video highlights how her nonprofit, CAMFED, works to build a lasting 'sisterhood' to ensure these students succeed both in their studies and in their adult lives.
