Agreed :)
Hi Nicole! Here is a case study that UN Girls Education Initiative (UNGEI) had written about our model: https://www.goodpracticefund.org/documents/TCF-UNGEI-Final.pdf.
Fundamentally, there is a demand for girls education in Pakistan, but there is a problem with the supply. We solved for this by building schools within walking distance for girls and hiring only female teachers. We figured out how to achieved a nearly 50-50 ratio of girls to boys in the mid-1990s by listening to families.
Keep up the good work!
