You can't save kids just with vaccines.

If you don't have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, you won't change the trajectory for students.

When girls are educated and free to pursue their passions, they contribute more to a thriving society. When women have a voice, they raise it to demand a life that is greater than what they've been told they have a right to expect. And these demands change the future for everyone.
