Contribution to the Common Good
 As is known educating girls has been a problem, as
there are societies that still believes that educating
girls is not important.
 There are societies where the role of women is
limited to the reproductive role and to eradicate this
thought , Girls Education has taken upon itself the
role of educating women who do not have the
access to education (Kreager et al. 2013).
 The organization is working in remote areas where
the mindset of the people are backward and
educating women is not a priority (Emina, Chirwa
and Kandala 2014).
 They are trying to create a society where the
opportunities that women have are equal to that of
the man.
 This is noble cause and they have been successful
since its inception in the year 2008
My Professional Contribution
 I believe that education is a basic right of
everyone irrespective of sex and gender and all
the people across the world deserve to receive
proper education.
 I believe that the work that Girls Education is
doing is of prime importance and if I become a
part of the organization I would also travel to
the areas and communicate with the local
workers and ensure that the women have
access to proper education.
 I personally can teach the girls and .talk to the
local partners and ensure that girls receive
proper education
