Nike Foundation and Buffets Join Together

This just in!



The Nike Foundation is joining up with Peter and Jennifer Buffet (co-chairs of the No Vo foundation) to collaborate on the new project, "the girl effect". The purpose of this project is to show the "ability of adolescent girls in developing countries to bring unprecedented social and economic change to their families, communities and countries". The reason behind this project? "In impoverished communities, lack of resources drives girls out of school and into early marriage, childbirth, and HIV infection...The results are irreversible for girls... Yet when girls gain a different path – supported, educated and empowered – everyone benefits." said Nike.

Since 2004, the Nike Foundation has focused on the issue of girls and poverty. NoVo has focused on the same issues. Together, they want to make an impact on more girls lives, and help them make the right choices on the crossroads of adolesence.
