Why Girls?

Refocused efforts are needed to improve learning outcomes for the full life cycle, especially for women, girls, and marginalized people in vulnerable settings. With more focus on female education, communities can be transformed. Many factors including poverty, child marriage, and gender-based violence restrict millions of girls from receiving a proper education.

Worldwide, 132 million girls are out of school.

UNICEF, 2020

If all women had a secondary education, child deaths would be cut in half, saving 3 million lives.

UNESCO, 2013

When women work, they invest 90 percent of their income back into their families, compared with 35 percent for men.

Why Math Tutoring?

617 million youth worldwide lack basic mathematics and literacy skills. The unfortunate underrepresentation of females in math-related careers widens the gap of gender equality vastly. In society, girls are not encouraged to pursue careers involving math because of gender bias. We aim to inspire many girls to bridge these gaps in gender inequality in these fields.

According to the United Nations, enrollment in primary education in developing countries has reached 91 percent but 57 million primary age children remain out of school.

Ms. Tamilore Dairo

Tami Dairo is a high school student at Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science and Technology (GSMST) who is passionate about solving community and global challenges through hands-on leadership. She has served in several leadership capacities right from her elementary school days as the school Arbitrator at Cedar Hill Prep. Tami was the Secretary of Student Council at Five Forks Middle school and has been on the Teen Advisory Council of Gwinnett County Public Library, Five Forks branch since 2017 to date where she also volunteered as a Mathematics tutor for elementary and middle school kids.

She has a strong interest in global social issues, hence her membership in Model United Nations where she serves as a Junior Officer. Tami’s trip to Nigeria with her immigrant parents when she was in middle school exposed her to school pupils from less privileged families and she was amazed at the difference between educational, financial, and technological opportunities available for children in the United States and the developing world. This experience helped shaped her interest and commitment to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education) and Goal 5 (Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment) which ultimately led her to found Girls Tower High Inc., a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Georgia.
