Actress Natalie Portman want to empower women by motivating them and their families to take education seriously.
The 35-year-old "Black Swan" star is working for the cause in collaboration with "WE," an organization running a moment to empower individuals with the help of education, reported People magazine.
"So I did some research and saw that WE - previously known as Free the Children - was really the most efficient and effective school creator. In 2015, I traveled to Kenya in support of WE's Power of a Girl project and was able to see the ripple effect that a girl's education can have.
"WE has young people in developed countries - primarily in North America - raising money to build schools for their peers in developing countries like Kenya, China, and India. It's an amazing way to engage young people," Portman said.
