Story from a participant

The computers are extremely helpful for many of the students. Most of the students do not have computers at home and therefore require them to do research and learn how to compile various types of assignments … Although we do have 9 desktop computers at the Centre, the area in which they are located is in a busy classroom and often it is hard to concentrate when other teaching and classes are taking place. The laptops allow girls to work in quieter spaces and they can then concentrate better and this allows them to be more productive.(Director SSSC)

"Investing in women's economic empowerment sets a direct path towards gender equality, poverty eradication and inclusive economic growth. Women make enormous contributions to economies, whether in businesses, on farms, as entrepreneurs or employees, or by doing unpaid care work at home."
"Gender Equality and Development, can enhance economic productivity, improve development outcomes for the next generation, and make institutions and policies more representative. (World Bank’s 2012 World Development Report)"
"Evidence from countries as varied as Brazil, China, India, South Africa, and the United Kingdom shows that when women control more household income—either through their own earnings or through cash transfers—children benefit as a result of more spending on food and education (World Bank, 2011)."
"In India, giving power to women at the local level led to greater provision of public goods, such as water and sanitation, which mattered more to women (Beaman and others, 2011)."
"Recent estimates suggest that gender parity overall has thepotential to boost global gross domestic product (GDP)by between $12 trillion and $28 trillion between now and2025 (Woetzel et al., 2015)"
"It has been shown that‘national economies lose out when a substantial part ofthe population cannot compete equitably or realize its fullpotential’ (Golla et al., 2011: 3)."
"Studies have shown that "there is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women," (Kofi Annan UN Secretary-General, 1997-2006)"
"Study after study had shown that no other policy (women empowerment) was as likely to raise economic productivity, reduce infant and maternal mortality, improve nutrition and promote health, increase the chances of education for the next generation, preventing conflict, or achieving reconciliation after a conflict has ended (United Nations)"
"If you educate a man, you educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a Nation. (African Proverb)"
