Burkina Faso has the 7th highest child marriage rate globally. Yes, you read that shocking statistic correctly. The 7th highest. A 2019 global database study by AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL “found that 52% of the women in Burkina Faso currently between 20-24 years of age was married before age 18.”
At Girl Now Woman Later Inc., we believe in fighting for girls to complete their education instead of entering into child marriage. That’s why we offer our entire program at no cost to underprivileged girls. To pursue our mission, we are volunteer-run and volunteer supported by generous donors like you.
Your gift, big or small, makes a difference in the lives of underprivileged girls in Burkina Faso.
Less than half of the girls complete basic education. For example, the success rate for the first cycle study certificate, Basic Education Certificate Examination (B.E.C.E.), or the end of secondary term was estimated at 43.1%, with 38.5% for girls in 2018 according to UNESCO. Girl Now Woman Later wants to improve these statistics.
