There are 600 million adolescent girls in the developing world and they
are ready, willing, and able to end poverty.

It's called The Girl Effect.

The ability of adolescent girls in developing countries to bring unprecedented social and economic change to their families, communities and countries. For example, studies show that woman reinvest 90% of their income into her family but a man will reinvest 30-40%. This website provides the tools for girls and women to learn and spread the word.

Hi guys...thanks for posting this. I do p.r. work for the production company (in the interests of full disclosure), and would like to point out that the all-type video that appears on this site was directed by manvsmagnet, who is with Curious Pictures in NY. He's actually Matt Smithson, a recent SCAD grad. Just wanted to make sure he got some credit for his contribution.

what is the music used in Girl Effect? Can I download it? Who did it?

I really like the style of this video. It's almost too fast to read, but not quite... and the music is perfect.

EngenderHealth, another nonprofit, has a video with a similar style text (see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FK2pzLAdgQ) but they definitely put their own twist on it, unlike the copycat Starbucks ad.
