In Many Developing Countries, Girls Don't Go To School. They Stay Home. They Are At The Water Wells, Bringing Water Back And Forth To The Village. Or They Are Doing Chores, Preparing Meals, Farming. Some Cultures Think Girls And Women Shouldn't Be Educated, And Those Are Very Often The Places Where The Treatment Of Women And Girls Is The Worst.

Giving Homeless Children The Chance To Be Educated, Giving Them This Ticket To Their Futures, Is So Wonderful. They Will Have The Chance To Not Repeat The Suffering Of Their Childhoods In Their Own Families. They Can Build Secure And Safe Lives For Themselves And Their Children.
