In African schools boys woefully outnumber girls in attendance. UNESCO in a report titled "Education for All" identifies Sub-Saharan Africa as one of the regions that have the widest gender disparity in terms of education. Two out of three of the 110 million children who do not attend school are girls, and girls grow up to make two thirds of the world's 875 million illiterate adults. This project will help ensure that Dohren continues her schooling by providing her with a full scholarship.
Families with limited funds to educate their children focus on sending their boys to school, and many girls who start school drop out because their parents cannot afford to continue to pay for their education. Dohren's father is a teacher and her mother is a secretary. They cannot afford the cost to continue their daughter's education. This project will provide a full scholarship for Dohren covering her tuition, books, school supplies and related school expenses.
Funds from this project will help Dohren continue her education and eventually become a lawyer - her desired future profession. Your support will ensure she does not drop out of school because of a lack of funding from her family. Additionally, by helping to educate her, you will be helping to address the gender disparity in education.
Healthy, well educated and emancipated women are an excellent foundation for a new & free society. Your support will help Dohren to complete her education, become independent and self-sufficient. She is committed to community service and an educated Dohren will contributing to national development.
