Story

Girls' education is a major priority. This project will provide resources for girls ages 3-30 years old to get their education to include vocational training, computer training, and/or attending college so that girls are empowered to be self-sufficient. Support also includes books & school supplies, school tuition support, girls mentoring, and extra support including food, tutoring/exam support, STEM programs, iPads/laptops, bed nets, solar lights, COVID-19 support, and transportation.

Impact

This project helps girls break out of the vicious cycle of poverty that entraps unskilled and resource-poor girls. At-risk girls are maturing into well-educated, emancipated, gainfully employed, and self-sufficient women. These empowered women are the pillars of their families, communities, and the nation. When the home's mother is educated, the health, well-being, and success of the entire family are propelled forward and transformed. Educated girls educate the entire nation.

Challenge

Across the region, 9 million girls between the ages of about 6 and 11 will never go to school, compared to 6 million boys, according to UIS data. By the time they become adolescents, the exclusion rate for girls is 36% compared to 32% for boys. (UNESCO, 2021). Without urgent action, the situation will likely get worse as the region faces a rising demand for education due to a still-growing school-age population. (UNESCO, 2021)
