Educating Children

Education is one of the most powerful tools to help girls from impoverished families progress, empowering them with knowledge and critical thinking skills to open future doors of opportunity while recognizing and resisting their potential for exploitation

Education is the key to unlocking a brighter future.

Everyone is quick to acknowledge the importance and value of educating children. However, years of preference towards boys as “producers” has left girls in many developing nations lagging well behind in terms of education and opportunity investment—a gap that poses a real barrier to advancement. Captivating aims to stand in this gap, forming a bridge leading to a better, safer, and poverty-free future. We know that doing this does much more than just helping a girl. It helps her family, her community, her world.

The education of girls underpins much of the work we do in Nepal, China, and the Philippines. It is one of the most solid investments that can be made to ensure a safer and brighter future for all.
