In Togo, these school uniforms are at the center of a movement offering girls and women a chance to build better lives

Payton McGriff and her nonprofit, Style Her Empowered – known as SHE – are removing barriers to education for 1,500 girls in the African country of Togo.

Sometimes, a book can have a life-changing impact. For Payton McGriff, that turned out to be true. McGriff was a sophomore at the University of Idaho when she read Half the Sky, which examines the oppression of women in developing countries. She was shocked to learn that 129 million girls worldwide are not enrolled in school.

What’s more, 100% of the fabric scraps are recycled into reusable menstrual pads made by SHE seamstresses and distributed to the students, who previously stayed home from school during their period because they lacked sanitary supplies.
