Clinton Leads $600 Million Effort to Educate Girls

Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, along with the Brookings Institution, are spearheading an almost $600 million effort to help disadvantaged girls, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southwest Asia, attend secondary school.

Hillary Clinton announced the effort today at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, which with the Center for Universal Education at Brookings helped draw participation. More than 30 groups have committed to the project.
