Thanks to YOU, 2018 was a fantastic year for our Girls Scholarhship Fund. We celebrated 28 young women graduating in May and then another 3 this past December.
These 31 graduates are each the first in their family to obtain a university degree and have just taken a major step towards being able to lift their families out of poverty.
We are working hard to ensure they all receive good jobs, start savings plans, and embark on a 3-5 year plan to succeed both professionally and in their own family life. It's far more challenging than many realise for a young person to immediately become the breadwinner in an impoverished families - the demands from everyone can be overwhelming - so our team coaches them through this transition.
Your generosity has changed these girls lives forever. Thank you.
Please take a few minutes to check out our 2018 Annual Report (attached). It's fully a photos that we're sure will put a smile on your face :)
Sincerely,
Jim
