Research has shown that investing in girls and young women has a disproportionately beneficial effect in alleviating poverty -- not only for girls but for their families, communities and countries. Girls who spend an extra year at school will on average increase their lifetime income by 10 percent to 20 percent, Chapman said.

This is true. Giving to girl-oriented charities can really help not only the girls themselves, but their entire communities in the long run. It has the added benefit of giving GLers a way to express their love of girls in a socially acceptable fashion. :-D

Thanks for sharing this, sure_as_elle!
