New initiative to improve lives of African girls

By 3p Contributor

Discovery Communications, the non-fiction media company, has teamed up with the Department for International Development to improve the lives of young girls living in Africa.

The company is investing £12.3m, into girls’ education in Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria, which will be match-funded by the Department for International Development.

The non-profit Discovery Learning Alliance will be the initiative’s implementing partner. DFID is also funding another 20 smaller innovative projects delivering girls’ education in Asia and West Africa. The funding forms part of the Government’s Girls’ Education Challenge which is helping up to one million of the world’s impoverished girls gain access to education to transform their lives.
