The Girl Effect

Yesterday, President Obama nominated Maria Eitel to head the Corporation for National and Community Service.  Eitel is the president of the Nike Foundation, a foundation with an approach to creating change in the developing world that really resonates with me.

The Nike Foundation focuses on assisting adolescent girls in the developing world, arguing that support to an adolescent girl will create a ripple effect that will benefit the entire community.  They call this approach The Girl Effect.

Check out the cool Girl Effect video:
