Send a child back to school
For a girl growing up poor in Africa, a single item can stand between her and an education. It might be a pair of shoes. It might be a notebook and a few pencils. Or it might be that, struggle as they might, her parents simply cannot raise enough money for school fees. As children around the

RECENLY IN India, HARYANA STATE GIRL CHILD ARE ABUSED.
Girls are small mothers that why every nation whom are in the top gave them piroity to educat girl as well as so that the will come better and this is away of developing whuman beings.
My heart breaks for these poor little girls. It's not enough that they are abused, ill-treated and forced to bear children before their bodies and minds are ready to do so, but their dreams and hopes are stolen, too.
As tragic as this all seems. I do believe therre is purpose behind each souls progression. Hope. A DREAM, each one said the same, similartruth from within. I believe education is critical, these young teens are innocently, cruely robbed of their youthfulness, their education, thus chances to achieve their lives dreams.

…As tragic as this all seems. I do believe therre is purpose behind each souls progression. Hope. A DREAM, each one said the same, similartruth from within. I believe education is critical, these young teens are innocently, cruely robbed of their youthfulness, their education, thus chances to achieve their lives dreams. A chance is all they ask, yet decisions are being made for them. Where's their freewill, On 1 hand they're being led to believe they're old enough to have sex, marry against their will, and give birth, it seems they hassve no say over their lives or their bodies. What god dam right does another human have to demand how another lives their life. I agree their bodies can't be developed enough to bare a child, give birth so young, it's horrendous, and as for their families, are they going along with this because maybe the same happened to them, if so, then it seriously must stop, generations will be living in more poverty, know no education, ill health & desease will follow, and what kind of life does that leave for any future generations, Surely this can be stopped before fatality & death comes to all under 20's. I'm in total support to try & stop this& build a better life & future foir these dear girls & their children. May god bless each one of thgem, and the angels protect their souls & spirits always love & light Vanessa.xxx.
The pain in their souls we can only imagine...the death rate for these young girls...something has to change.
education is the best help for poor countries.
When u educate a girl child you educate the nation........
