This is The Girl Effect. This is why More Than Me is so incredible- we help girls get off the streets by providing them with a place to go- The More Than Me Academy.

Female Visibility Matters

Narratives of police brutality often exclude women, but the scourge of racism doesn’t belong to a single gender.

Live Bigger 

[icmorethanme]

More Than Me is about living every day in a way that is bigger than yourself. This could be as simple as holding a door open for someone, making conversation with someone sitting alone, or volunteering your time for a good cause. I challenge you to do an act of kindness today. I (double-dog dare) challenge you to do 3 acts of kindness. Tell us what you did.

15 Year Old Girl Invents No Battery Flashlight Powered by Heat from our Hands

15 year old Ann Makosinsk from Victoria Canada has invented a flashlight that doesn’t need batteries and instead is powered by the warmth of our hands. She was researching alternative energy methods when she came across the Peltier tile, a tile which generates electricity when cool on one side and warm on the other. She did some calculations and discovered that the energy generated could be enough to power a flashlight. Ann did months of research on transformers and circuitry before coming up with a working prototype. She is a top 14 finalist at the Google Science Fair and is going onto the finals of the competition later this year.

Ithaca College's More Than Me stands with survivors because "our girls are more than victims."

Why do you stand with survivors??
