In many developing countries schools charge tuition, posing an insurmountable obstacle to the poorest children. By providing funding for secondary school, GEF helps deserving young orphans and vulnerable children overcome this barrier and greatly increase their opportunities for a better life. Studies show that young women, in particular, reap enormous benefits from a secondary school education, ranging from increased wages, to decreased population growth, to improved family health and the increased likelihood of educating future generations.
