2018 continues to be an exciting year of growth, success, and inspiration in our Girl's Scholarship Fund.
On the high school front, we have over 125 girls on the program receiving assistance with ACCESS to university. We are submitting (and paying for) their applications to university, financial aid, and other scholarships. This takes thousands of man hours, but our team is intent on ensuring these girls have as many opportunities as possible to continue their studies next year.
We have also had numerous career guidance interventions, including pschometric assessments, career guidance sessions, and take-a-girl-to-work days. The photo below shows some of our girls from Cowan High School preparing to spend the day at PricewaterhouseCoopers Accounting firm.
At university, our girls continue to shine. We currently have 172 girls enrolled at our local university and they're achieving an 87% pass-rate. We also have 18 girls staying in our Masi House of Excellence, which allows them to live near campus, in a safe & productive environment, with access to food and computers. Our House of Excellence continues to inspire nearly everyone that visits as it permeates a culture of success, dreaming big, and helping one another.
YOU help make all of this possible through your generosity and support. Masinyusane is simply the intermediary connecting these incredible young women with generous people that want to help others. We are eternally grateful for that support!
Very sincerely,
Jim
