A girl that has an education can shape her own destiny, lift up her family, and transform her community. But 62 million girls around the globe today are not in school.

That’s why the Obama administration is expanding efforts to help adolescent girls worldwide attend and complete school through a new initiative called Let Girls Learn.

Watch the President and First Lady talk about the Let Girls Learn initiative, and see how the Administration is working to open the doors of education for girls worldwide.

And raise awareness by sharing the facts and using the hashtag #LetGirlsLearn on social media.
