March 8th is International Women's Day and we are bringing awareness to the impact that scholarships have for the young women in our homes. After taking their placement tests, our kids will have the opportunity to pursue university, trade school, etc. However, without scholarships, many will miss out on the chance to do so.
· "Educating girls is one of the strongest ways not only to improve gender equality, but to promote economic growth and the healthy development of families, communities and nations."
· "Despite tremendous progress in getting girls into school, the global community must commit to making sure education counts and that it reaches the most marginalized populations."
· "In countries affected by conflict, girls are more than twice as likely to be out of school than girls living in non-affected countries."
By donating to this fund, you are not only helping these girls break the cycle of poverty... you are helping them pursue dreams they never thought possible.
Thanks to our sponsors and donors, we are are able to give children hope. If you’re interested, there are many ways you can support Kidstown!
