Empower 300 Girls through Education in Turkey

PROVIDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO DISADVANTAGED TURKISH GIRLS

Educating Girls is Smart for All of Us!

Dear Supporter and Friend:

We are pleased to share with you our latest update on the Bridge to Türkiye Fund’s (BTF) Girls’ Empowerment Scholarship Program.

In our last update, we reported that, in 2013-14 academic year, BTF provided scholarships for 85 bright, deserving young women and girls from rural Turkey. Of the girls we supported, three students graduated from high school who are now university bound. And, six students graduated from college with degrees in law, business administration, and mathematics.

Thanks to your generosity, these young women are staying in school, graduating, and becoming productive members of the Turkish society!

Your continued support enables us to invest in the future of these young women who otherwise don’t have the economic means to continue their education. Through your support, these young women and girls will have a chance to live better lives and promote a Turkish society where women have a voice and role in their communities.

This academic year, our aim is to expand our program to reach 100 young women. Exact number of students will be provided in the next status report. We are hopeful that you will continue with your support to help us reach our goal. We believe that with every student we educate, we get one step closer to the day where a person’s birthplace, economic background, or gender no longer determines their future.

Thank you again for joining us in our quest to provide educational opportunities to deserving young women in rural regions of Turkey. And thank you for believing that the world can be better place, for supporting the BTF Girls’ Empowerment Scholarships Program, and for transforming these girls’ lives.

Best regards,

Bridge to Türkiye Fund
