Bridging the Gap in STEM Education for 1200 Girls

LING Quarterly Report
Period: April – June 2025

Introduction

We are delighted to share another milestone of impact and resilience. This quarter has not been without its challenges particularly with the loss of some of our support base but thanks to your continued trust and generosity, we have remained focused and energized.

Your unwavering support has enabled us to drive meaningful change. This report reflects our commitment to transparency and shared progress. It highlights the strides we have made, the challenges we’ve encountered, and the lives we are collectively transforming especially girls from rural communities who often face educational neglect and social marginalization.

Impact Over the Quarter

The past three months have seen incredible progress. With your support, we have deepened our reach into underserved communities and continued to bring hope to girls who might otherwise be left behind due to harmful cultural beliefs, poverty, and systemic neglect.

A major highlight this quarter is our newly secured and fully functional Center for Tech Inclusion and Educational Innovation. This multipurpose facility now serves as:

• A weekday professional resource hub for teachers.
• A weekend learning center for children from nearby communities.
• A full-time hub during school vacations, open seven days a week.
• A working office space for hosting team meetings and developing activity schedules.

This space is now actively fostering creativity, problem-solving, exploration, and digital fluency an achievement we long dreamed of and are proud to see in operation.
