Just over a year ago I reported this about Nafisha...
Nafisha is 15 years old and studying in class IX at an Urdu medium school. She lives with her parents and 3 siblings in a rented room 8’ X 10’. Her father takes home just £50 a month of which £10 is paid in rent. She says ”I really want to continue my education to masters level. I want to stand on my own feet”
Today I am delighted to report that Nafisha has passed her crucial Class X board exams and is looking forward to continuing in school and on to university. This is an extraordinary achievemnt for a girl from a desperately poor slum family. Nafisha is well on the way to being empowered through financial independence. As an educated woman she will be able to determine whether, when and whom she marries. She will be able to support her own family and gain the respect of the community. And it is thanks to you, as well as her own determination, that Nafisha has such a bright future.
This Wednesday 12th July a donation towards a girl like Nafisha is worth 40% extra as it is a GlobalGiving bonus day. If you set up a monthly recurring donation your first month's donation will be doubled.
So please get online at 2 pm (BST) or 9 am (EDT and help make a difference
Thank you very much
