During her visit, Obama is expected to announce a new $200
million US-UK partnership to support girls' education in countries affected by
conflict, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sierra Leone, and
Liberia. Launched in March, the Let Girls Learn initiative will support teacher
training, girls' leadership camps, and other community-based programs around
the world.

Educating girls isn't just a moral issue, but a public
health issue, a national security issue, and an economic issue, Obama argued, making
the case that educating girls leads to lower rates of maternal and infant
mortality, combats violent extremism, and can boost both individual earning
power as well as an entire country's economy.
