Meaningful Strides

By Freya Hoffman-Terry | Office Manager

Last year, the pilot middle school program helped 100% of graduating students to pass their year-end national exam. This fall, you can expand the reach of women mentors to two new middle schools in communities that have never had local access to middle schools. This is an incredible opportunity to support national expansion of education services. They need your support to ensure a successful first year!

“When I heard I passed the elementary school exam and could continue to middle school, my mother and I worried about how I could pursue my studies... [Your support] allowed me to… purchase a uniform, and pay school fees. [It] has helped me to study in peace and turn my full attention to school.”

-- Assalama, 7th grader, Aouderas Middle School

According to the World Bank, every year of secondary school education is correlated with an 18% increase in a girl’s future earning power.  That means a brighter future not just for girls, but for whole families and communities. Thank you, on behalf of all of our students, for helping them make meaningful strides towards a brighter future.
