Through Merck Foundation’s Educating Linda program, we want every girl to grow up knowing that her future is full of possibilities.
When families, teachers and communities believe in a girl’s potential, they can help her believe in herself. But that belief must become action: keeping her in school, giving her time to study, encouraging her interests and supporting her through challenges.
A girl can aspire to become a doctor, a scientist, an engineer, an entrepreneur or even a president. Her gender should never determine the limits of her ambition.
To every parent and community leader: listen to her dreams, encourage her learning and give her the opportunity to discover how far she can go.
To every girl: the sky is the limit. Your voice matters, your ambitions matter, and you deserve the opportunity to fulfill your potential
Kind Regards,
Senator Dr. Rasha Kelej (Ret.),
CEO of Merck Foundation
