Not only does this help women of multiple faiths economic independence, but it allows women from different religious and cultural backgrounds to become proponents of women’s rights in their respective communities.

The Youth With A Vision, Nairobi, Kenya
Youth with a Vision guides university students in tutoring younger pupils on science-based subjects.
