This year, back-to-school looks a little different just about everywhere, but that hasn’t stopped us from making sure more girls have access to education!

We’re so proud to participate in three school builds in 2020-- our busiest year to-date: Construction of our new school in Guatemala just completed, and GSG Jr.’s school in Malawi plus a third school in Nepal are well under way!

“Jennifer A. Doudna, a biochemist at the Univers

“Jennifer A. Doudna, a biochemist at the University of California at Berkeley, and Emmanuelle Charpentier, a French microbiologist — won the 2020 Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work developing a revolutionary gene-editing tool that can change the DNA of plants and animals with extraordinary precision. The technique, called CRISPR -Cas9, is already being used as a cancer therapy and to cure inherited diseases.

This was the first time two women jointly won a Nobel in chemistry. “I wish that this will provide a positive message, specifically, to young girls who would like to follow the path of science,” Charpentier told reporters Wednesday morning.”
