Story
This year I have the privilege of riding in the Magnolia Cup which is being raced to support the education of girls in Malawi.
To reduce poverty and create lasting changes we must educate girls. When girls learn how to read, write and do sums, they lead longer, healthier lives. They are much less likely to become child brides or young mothers. Their increased income leads to greater financial independence and they are less likely to suffer domestic violence. Whats more, their children inherit these advantages. It is a virtuous cycle.
Yet, in Malawi, only 13% of girls complete upper secondary school in Malawi, and among the poorest children this falls to 2%. And 42% of girls are married before the age of 18, with 9% married before the age of 15.
We want to give girls in Malawi better opportunities to thrive in life.
