I’m going to guess that since Buffett and Nike are giving such large amounts of money (relative anyway, not necessarily for them personally, if you will), someone had something pretty convincing.

No doubt, there could always be more activism.

Though it seems to be deliberate, as the site talks lots about 14-18 year old females and the importance of thinking about them in their own right. And some of the stats on the site (like $0.005 of every aid dollar goes to girls, the leading cause of death worldwide for 15-19 year olds is pregnancy, investing in girls’ education helps later on) seem compelling.

When girls and boys in developing countries are both below the line, but girls are way below boys, do you yank up them both, or yank up girls so they are the same level as boys, even if that’s still below where you want them both to be?

Sounds like a new cause for you if you find that boys have the same needs. Warrne’s pretty savvy.
