Funding Girls’ Education & Health as One Strategy

Co-hosted by Brave Future and FUNKY BROWN CHICK, Inc. Education and health are funded as separate line items. Yet, the evidence says they're one strategy. Healthy, informed girls finish school and build careers, and economic independence protects against early marriage and violence. Join us for a 45-minute briefing for funders, policymakers, and practitioners on what's working and where the funding gaps are. You'll hear from: A program graduate! An Afghan software engineering participant on how a replicable education model (with live internships) delivers results in one of the world's toughest operating environments. Twanna A. Hines, Founder/CEO of FUNKY BROWN CHICK, Inc. makes the case for culturally appropriate maternal health programming as fundable, evidence-based work in education. Marcela Nacif, Founder of Brave Future pulls the curtain back on building credentialed, community-led education, from Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp to Afghanistan. The conversation is structured for concrete, actionable recommendations, not just dialogue.
