Leah
Please donate now to help us raise the scholarship funds necessary to support 13 Zambian girls all the way through their educations!
Leah is a 19 year old orphan whose parents died of HIV/AIDS. Because of the stigma of HIV/AIDS in her society, nobody would help her with her school funding, and she became a house maid to make money. After a friend invited her to the Lubuto Model Library, she applied to the scholarship program and was accepted.
Recognizing the importance of education in a successful life, Leah said, "School is important... especially to a girl child. Through school you can become a doctor, president, nurse, lawyer, etc." Without your help, girls like Leah would not have the opportunity to complete school and get on track to having a successful life.
The scholarship program provides school supplies, books, uniforms, and sanitary supplies to its recipients. $1,500 is needed by NEXT WEEK to support Leah and 12 other girls through the 2021 school year. Donate now to support their educations!

Rachel
Rachel, a Zambian girl whose family couldn't support her education, was selected for the scholarship program in 2017. When selected, she regained hope of becoming a nurse when the possibility of returning to and graduating from school became a reality.
Along with paving the way for her own successful future, Rachel is hopeful that she will be able to give her child a better education than she had. "I don't want my child to lack anything. I'll make sure I get educated and get a decent job."
The scholarship program provides school supplies, books, uniforms, and sanitary supplies to its recipients. $1,500 is needed by January 22nd to support Rachel and 12 other girls through the 2021 school year. Donate now to support their educations!

Like many girls in Zambia, Leah is passionate about education, but she often missed school because her family couldn't afford sanitary napkins. Through the Lubuto scholarship program, and because of all generous donors, Leah and 52 other girls no longer have to miss school. Her scholarship not only provides full tuition for the duration of secondary school, but also uniforms, shoes, books and sanitary napkins. She now has the tools to succeed.
40 of the girls who received scholarships have finished school--there are now only 13 girls still in secondary school, and your donations will allow them to finish their educations and have successful lives.
$1,500 is needed by January 22nd to support these girls through the 2021 school year. Donate now to help these girls acheive their dreams!
Thank you for believing that girls deserve every opportunity that boys have, and for making sure that they are not left behind!
