Girl Power: Mary Grace Henry

When she was 12 years of age, Mary Grace Henry was concerned about the lack of education impoverished African girls received.  She taught herself to sew and started making and selling hair accessories, using 100% of the profits to send African girls to school. In 2014 she won the World of Children Award which is like the Nobel Peace prize for children. Now aged 18, her organisation, Reverse the Course, which sold reversible headbands and aimed to reverse the course of one girl's life, has now funded the education of 101 girls in 4 different countries.
