The simple message that the former First Lady delivered through this was, “The future of our world is only as bright as our girls.”
According to the Obama Foundation, “Today, more than 98 million adolescent girls around the world are not in school. That’s a lot of empty desks - and a lot of dreams that are being cut short. When girls get the opportunities they deserve, amazing things start to happen; poverty goes down, economies grow, families get stronger, and babies are born healthier. And the world, by all accounts, gets better.”
