Thanks to the efforts of our donors and supporters, NESEI will break ground in Yei, Southern Sudan this September for our pilot health sciences high school, which will open April 1, 2008.
Only 4% of Sudanese children are able to attend secondary school and more than 90% of women in Sudan are illiterate. These alarming rates reflect the overwhelming lack of educational access in this country. At NESEI, we are dedicated to changing these statistics, one high school at a time. Our pilot school will serve 200 girls its first semester who have never had access to secondary education. These girls will be provided with an accelerated academic and vocational program that will train them to be capable, competent leaders who will regenerate Sudan's nearly collapsed health sector. We are so excited that our first school will be built this fall.
Donate today to help the former Sudanese refugees who comprise NESEI build schools for their brothers and sisters in Sudan.
