130 million girls around the world are missing from classrooms, but providing these girls with access to education and opportunity can help end global poverty — and that’s what sparked the beginning of Girl Rising.

Today, the organization has made over five billion global media impressions and is continuing to change the way the world values girls. From helping girls around the world reach their full potential to ensuring they’re equal participants in society, here’s how Girl Rising is changing the world.

What do they do?
Girl Rising’s mission to change the way the world values and invests in girls starts and ends with getting girls into schools, which means the global campaign for girls’ education and empowerment will be complete when every girl is free to reach her full potential.

How do they do it?
Girl Rising works towards their goal through storytelling (by film, television, social media videos, graphic novels, radio, curricula, and more), global partnerships with companies, governments, nonprofits, schools, celebrities, global leaders, and citizens, and community programs. In fact, their notable film, Girl Rising, which stands at the heart of the organization’s programs, just hit its fifth anniversary!

What’s their impact?
It’s amazing what just one organization can do. Here are some of Girl Rising’s achievements:

  • Over 40 grassroots community partner organizations and over 250 corporate partners.
  • Tens of thousands of educational, grassroots, corporate, and policy leaders reached through Girl Rising film.
  • Nearly 2,600 educators from around the world have registered to use Girl Rising’s free curriculum and film in their classrooms.
  • Launched #62MillionGirls campaign with former First Lady Michelle Obama, creating over one billion social media impressions in the first three days.
