Humans – the most advanced and developed species on Earth – has learned how to think and behave in a rational way through learning.

Educating girls has a multiplier effect. Educated females tend to be healthier, have fewer children, earn more income and provide better health care for themselves and their family. These benefits are transferred from generation to generation, across communities at large; making girl’s education one of the best investments a country can make.
The concept of combining three powers:
