REFLECTION QUESTIONWomen and Girls Give a MicroloanGlobally, women typically invest a higher proportion of their earnings in their families and communities than men. Why do you think that is?

kamakshi sistla 4/23/2019 2:49 PMNever thought, about educating girls about family planning, from a carbon foot print point of view. If girls are educated enough on family planning, it will not only help them make informed decisions and give them the right to have kids when they are ready for it, but would also help earth cut down on resources on unwanted births. No human should come on to the earth not being wanted by his/her own mother. That's pathetic! -
