This powerful video showcases why investing in women and girls in the developing world is so important. Though international poverty demands multi-dimensional solutions, we know that giving women and girls a way to participate economically is the single most efficient path to development. Today, Lotus Outreach is providing thousands of women and girls in India and Cambodia with education, skills training and start-up support for small businesses. Girl power!!!
"Everyone on this planet suffers personally when anyone's life is wasted. After all, the life that is wasted might have the potential to grow up and become the doctor who saves the life of my own grandchild, or the scientist who invents a device that will save the planet from global warming, or the artist who creates a magnificent work of art that would enrich my old age. Why should we waste that opportunity?"
