Educate a girl and everything really does change. Deborah leads us on a journey to a basket making collective in rural Ghana where women's lives are being transformed thanks to the education of one young woman. Discover how a movement of rural, educated women are transforming not only their own prospects but also those of their families, communities and nations. Deborah left a ten year career in the City to pursue her doctorate at the University of Cambridge where she still supervises the social and ethical context of health and illness alongside her work with CAMFED, the Campaign for Female Education, and social entrepreneurship as the director of Mmaa Social.
