In Ethiopia, 95% of girls begin their education but only 10% complete through 12th grade. Girls Gotta Run Foundation (GGRF) is a foundation that aims to change this, by investing in the future of young girls in Ethiopia. Proceeds from the sale of this coffee go to supporting GGRF.
As girls enter adolescence, they are more likely to drop out of school as a result of a diverse range of issues, including early marriage, early pregnancy, increased responsibilities at home, increased cost of school, food insecurity, limited access to hygiene facilities, sexual harassment and assault, gender bias, conflict, child labor, and lack of quality education for girls.
However, each year of education a girl completes catalyzes change for her future, her family, and her community. Education for girls means income, health, and agency for girls and their communities.
