This article shows vividly the problems facing girls in South Sudan and why education for them is so important. And it covers only the societal challenges without even mentioning violence and displacement. Uneducated girls grow up to become illiterate mothers, unable to help their children learn. One South Sudanese woman recently described the challenge of taking her child to the doctor. If the doctor prescribed medicine, the mother could not read which child the medicine was for or the dosage or the frequency. Only one of life’s little problems. But educate a woman and you educate a family, because mothers do not want their children to grow up ignorant. Please help us help the women and children of South Sudan.
