Today, more than 129 million girls miss out on an education worldwide.

Like many teenagers in the Philippines, Ronita had to drop out of school when she experienced unplanned pregnancy. Those who become parents before the age of 18 are less likely to complete secondary education, compared to their childless peers.

With your help, FCJ is working on expanding the reach of their programs, so that young mothers like Ronita can go back to school.

With the generosity of people like you, young mothers in the Philippines are given the chance to complete their education and enhance their future employment prospects.
