I spoke with @MarsaiMartin and Ingrid Tuy, a student from the @GirlsAlliance community, about our new #GetHerThere campaign and ways we can come together to support girls’ empowerment on the #DayOfTheGirl and beyond.

Happy International #DayoftheGirl! Today I’m celebrating the promise that exists within every girl. When we invest in that promise, we empower them to change their communities for the better.

An educated girl can lift up her family, her community, and her country. That’s why I’m so proud that today the @ObamaFoundation is launching the Global @GirlsAlliance in support of adolescent girls' education around the world.
We worked with @GoFundMe to create a fundraising destination where anyone can support grassroots leaders and their work for adolescent girls’ education.
So read these leaders' stories. Learn about their work. And support them however you can: https://t.co/rvo9nmvTU9.
I’m so proud of the work @MichelleObama has done over the years to ensure adolescent girls have access to education, and I know that the @GirlsAlliance will be another great chapter in her effort to get girls the opportunities they deserve. https://t.co/Ohv6NAylo4
