May 23, 2010
In my last post I talked about the need to help older girls and women who did not have the opportunity to get an education become active participants in their societies. A couple of weeks ago I spoke to a woman, Ann Elston, who is doing just that with the Koumama family. Her journey started in 2001 when her husband introduced her to Elhadji Koumama, a Tuareg silversmith living in Agadez, Niger.

Girl Effect, n. The powerful social and economic change brought about when girls have the opportunity to participate in their society.
