By Patty Summers


Girl Up clubs are groups of young American women who help spread awareness about the difficult issues facing young women in developing third world nations. It is a part of the United Nations Foundation. It teaches leadership skills so that the club members can make a difference in combating poverty in these remote regions of the world. The clubs raise funds and conduct outreach programs to bring more awareness about these issues.

Their vision is a world where, despite where they live, young ladies can have productive fulfilled lives. This includes making sure they are educated and are healthy. Studies have shown that societies that educate and support women grow stronger economically and culturally. In many ways, this organization is paving the way for the leaders of our next generation. The entire world benefits when both genders are able to achieve their full potential in life.

It is estimated that around six hundred million young females live in developing nations. Unfortunately, many of these girls can not achieve their full potential in life. Their cultures do not allow them the same opportunities and rights that males have. They do not have access to decent health care. They do attend school so they are uneducated. Often they have to marry and have children at a shockingly young age.

The American girls who join the clubs contribute a lot to help cure these problems. It starts the conversation among the young women about helping solve these world wide issues. They become a powerful force to start changing things so girls in developing countries can become productive members of their society.

It has been shown that girls who marry at a later age have fewer children. They are able to get better health care. They raise healthier more stable families. Educated women get better jobs and contribute to society. The entire society benefits. Economies will grow and this promotes political stability for the world.

It is not just the girls living in developing regions who benefit. The club member receive a lot too. They learn valuable organizational and leadership skills. These skills look great on a college application or job resume. These are skills that they will benefit them throughout their lifetime.

About one hundred forty million children in the world are not attending school and more than one half of these kids are girls. A huge component in eliminating poverty is making sure these young ladies receive a decent education. The wonderful result is the standard of living for everybody in their country will dramatically improve.

There one last thing that should be mentioned when discussing what happens when a girl joins a Girl Up Club. The club members have a lot of fun. It is a great way to make a positive contribution, help solve serious problems and have a good time doing it.
