# Female-Centered Educational Programs She’s The First Provides Donations to Send Girls to Sch By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-07-25 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shes-the-first References: [getmilkshake](http://www.getmilkshake.com/ladies_first) & [shesthefirst.org](http://www.shesthefirst.org/) She’s The First is a not-for-profit organization that sponsors girls in the developing world to enable them to go to school and be the first in their families to graduate. Statistically, girls are at a disadvantage economically and are less likely to be given the same opportunities to attend school as their male counterparts. Operating both on donations as well as helping to organize fundraising initiatives, the organization donates the proceeds of its efforts to help girls overcome obstacles and empower not only themselves and their families—but their entire community. By helping to organize projects in North America run by young girls as well donating profits from the sales of baked goods and jewelry, the organization exposes the hurdles presented to those in the developing world. In doing so, they connect the two groups and inspire local girls to help those in need while empowering girls overseas. **Contact Information** She’s The First [website](http://www.shesthefirst.org/) She’s The First on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/shesthefirst) She’s The First on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/shesthefirst) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gender-inclusive Education:** The trend towards expanded educational opportunities for girls of all ages and backgrounds presents an opportunity for businesses to provide innovative educational resources to people of all genders and promote greater diversity and inclusion in educational spaces. - **Socially Responsible Fundraising:** The trend towards fundraising initiatives that support social causes presents an opportunity for businesses to align their marketing strategies with social responsibility and community building goals. - **Empowerment Through Education:** The trend towards education initiatives that prioritize empowerment and social change presents an opportunity for businesses to collaborate with organizations that support these values and create more impactful social change. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Education:** The education industry has an opportunity to create more effective and inclusive learning environments, as well as develop innovative strategies for empowering marginalized groups to access education and narrow knowledge gaps. - **Fundraising:** The fundraising industry has an opportunity to align with social responsibility goals and leverage innovative strategies to engage audiences and build stronger communities around shared values. - **Social Impact:** The social impact industry has an opportunity to collaborate with organizations like She's The First to create global networks for promoting social change, empowering marginalized groups, and making a difference in the lives of people around the world. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Empowerment-Focused Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivela.md) - [Supportive Female Entrepreneur Scholarships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/female-entrepreneur-scholarship.md) - [Period Poverty Scholarship Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/change-the-cycle.md) - [Empowering Women Entrepreneur Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-entrepreneur.md) - [Period Poverty Non-Profits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/period-1.md) - [At-Risk Youth-Targeted Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pacific-links-foundation.md) - [School Breakfast Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breakfast-club-of-canada-supports.md) - [Female Empowering Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seattle-chocolates.md) - [Celebrational Branded Women's Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/truand-truand-continues.md)
