Malawi is a country of more than 18 million people, more than half of whom are under the age of 18. UNFPA, the United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency, is working to ensure that young people in Malawi can reach their full potential, to drive social and economic development in the country. That's why it's vital that young people have access to education - particularly girls. UNFPA is pioneering initiatives to make sure that girls stay in school. One of them, called Safe Space, trains women and girls to be mentors to their peers.

Her school in Dowa, Malawi, sent her home because her fees hadn't been paid. Without school there are few options for girls. Watch what happened when she discovered Safe Space, part of the global Spotlight Initiative to end gender-based violence by 2030.

Education is not only a right - it's key to tackling poverty. Girls all over the world face barriers to education, which shuts them out of the job market. In Mangochi, Malawi, over half of all girls get married before the age of 18. UNFPA has launched a programme to keep girls in school in Malawi, and works with local and regional structures to fight against child marriage.

Kenyan rapper, entrepreneur and philanthropist King Kaka describes an initiative, the Sanitary Pad Charity campaign, to empower women, girls and boys with information and distribute free sanitary towels to girls across the country to help keep them in school. In 2010, he launched an initiative dubbed the Dreams Campaign, which fights social vices like child molestation and gender-based violence. He is a champion against period poverty.
