Teenager Helps Girls Get on the Road to Education

A 13-year-old Burkinabé teenager from Ouagadougou is helping her rural peers get to school by bicycle, making a radical difference to their journeys to school.

An eighth-grader at the International School of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso’s capital, Malika has raised the money for the bicycles after hearing about Plan International’s 'Because I am a Girl' (BIAAG) campaign.

Having seen the International Day of the Girl Child celebrations on October 11th of 2012 and having heard about a Plan initiative to provide girls with bicycles, Malika was inspired to help her peers.
