March 8th is International Women's Day. On this day, we celebrate the achievements of women globally.
For 12 years, we have been helping to educate girls. We strategically have impacted the destinies of hundreds of young girls, helping them complete their basic schooling.
In Sierra Leone, as in many parts of the world, girls' education plays a pivotal role in driving societal progress, fostering economic development, and promoting gender equality. Despite significant strides in recent years, barriers to girls' education persist in Sierra Leone, making it crucial to understand and address the importance of prioritizing girls' education in the country.
Thank for your continued support that is enabling students, like Christiana, to complete their education. Christiana received a scholarship for her final year of Senior Secondary School. Her next step will be to work toward becoming a banker, her desired future profession.
Please watch this video of appreciation from Christiana. In the video she says:
Thank you so much for donating towards this project - to help provide scholarships for girls.
