Overview

So far, the Girls鈥� Education Challenge has reached over one million marginalised girls. We want to reach more. On 7 July, the Secretary of State for International Development announced 拢100 million of further funding for the Girls鈥� Education Challenge.

This provides an exciting opportunity to continue our work to support some of the world鈥檚 most marginalised girls and to stretch our ambition to 鈥榣eave no one behind鈥�.
