Can you imagine a world where every girl had the chance to create a future of her choosing? In 2024, The Small World has a big dream to support 100 girls with the gift of education to pursue their dream of becoming teachers, doctors, dentists, leaders, social workers, engineers, lawyers & successful businesswomen, or anything they can dream of for their future.
In the rural Himalayan communities of Nepal, where The Small World is working, gender gap in higher education is very high. The lack of financial support for higher education for girls in Nepal is a significant challenge that forces girls to quit their studies. Out of 10 girls, 7 dropped out of school after grade 10. Moreover, 40% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18. They need economic support to continue their education and seek a dignified life for themselves and the country.
When you support this project you will directly support 100 girls for university-level education in subjects like Law, Medicine, civil engineering, architecture, crisis management, journalism, IT, etc to help pursue their educational goals. This project aims to empower girls by helping them finish university degrees and break gender barriers, give women economic independence, and have women represented in leadership roles in the mainstream for sustainable change.
In a developing country like Nepal, 100 vulnerable girls will graduate from university with their dream degrees. They will not only achieve their dream but educate their families, gain self-sufficiency, and economic independence, and live a dignified life. The investment we make together in girls' education is the best investment to break her free from poverty and gender disparity. She will become the voice and represent females in leadership roles in the mainstream for sustainable change.
