Education enables girls to transform their lives, but for many families experiencing poverty around the globe, buying the required school uniform is a formidable obstacle. It’s one of the reasons 129 million girls worldwide are not in school today. Idaho native Payton McGriff tackled the problem for a college class project and weeks later ended up researching solutions on a school trip to Togo. Today, her nonprofit, SHE (Style Her Empowered) has provided over 6,000 education sponsorships for girls in Togo with school fees, supplies, tutoring, and innovative uniforms designed to grow with them -- made locally by women who also receive free educational opportunities.
