A crash course in changing the world.
We provide school scholarships to 140 girls (and boys) in this destitute rural province of China where girls are often illiterate and married young, dashing all hopes for a brighter future
Girls in rural China face double discrimination: poverty and gender condemns them to ignorance. For many families, the cost of putting a child through school is too heavy to bear. And it doesn't pay to educate a girl; in fact, it pays to marry her young, as by tradition the groom's family provides a dowry to the bride's. Our goal is to break down the obstacles preventing girls from going to school so that they can look forward to a better future.
We provide scholarships to children based on a grid of economic criteria to measure families' needs developed with the villagers. We also equip the school environment (computers) and improve the teaching level (workshops in English etc.).
Total Funding Received to Date: $4,515
