Girls: An unexpected answer
- Nike believes in the power of human potential to accomplish anything: on the field, on the court, in life. We’re applying that belief to poverty in the developing world, an issue that impacts everyone’s future.
- We sought out where we could make the greatest impact. We found it in adolescent girls. Invest in them, the theory goes, and you will unleash a powerful ripple effect.
- That realization began our focused investment. Four years on, we’ve found that girls are the unexpected answer.
- What Can YOU Do?
