Empowering Orphaned Girls Through Education

At GTS, our dedication to transforming lives through education is at the core of everything we do. Our purpose lies in helping kids reach their full potential through equal educational opportunities.

Empowering orphaned girls through education is not just about providing them with knowledge and skills. It’s about giving them hope, confidence, and the tools to create a better future for themselves and their communities. By investing in their education, we are investing in a brighter tomorrow for all.

According to UNICEF, almost 5700 children become orphans every day due to various factors

The Challenges

In many underprivileged nations, only 1 in 4 girls completes secondary education. (World Bank)

Child marriage

Orphaned girls are at a higher risk of being forced into child marriage & out of those girls about 1 in 3 girls in developing countries are married before the age of 18.

Early pregnancy

Lack of education and limited access to reproductive health services put orphaned girls at a higher risk of early and unplanned pregnancies. Approximately 16 million girls aged 15-19 give birth each year, with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries.

Poverty and Vulnerability

Over 15 million girls worldwide have lost one or both parents due to various causes, including conflict and disease. These girls are often more vulnerable to exploitation, child labour, and early marriage.

Impact of Education

Educated women are less likely to marry early and more likely to send their own children to school, breaking the cycle of poverty.
For every additional year of schooling, a girl’s future earnings increase by 10-20%. (FemaleInvest.com)

60% of orphan girls will become victims of the sex trade

Improving Health and Well-being

Access to education also has a direct impact on the health and well-being of orphaned girls. Education equips them with knowledge about hygiene, nutrition, and reproductive health, enabling them to make healthier choices for themselves. It also increases their awareness of their rights, including protection against abuse and exploitation.

Advancing Social and Economic Development

Studies have shown that educating girls leads to: Lower rates of child marriage. Reduced maternal mortality Improved overall community development

When these girls grow up to become educated women, they are more likely to earn higher incomes, invest in their families’ well-being & contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
