Educate a Girl in Turkey & Give Her a Future

As we Educate girls in different places, often the feedback we get is that Turkey is a very modern country and girls have access to education. Why do we need to help.  That feedback is often from privileged people in Turkey or perhaps some people in the West.

It's a different story on ground with the girls. Age 14, there is an important test students take which places them in a more fast track to success or a more quieter, simpler education.  Many girls especially in some of the more rural communities, are discouraged from studying hard for or taking that test seriously. In Turkey, we focus on helping girls with that test, that milestone, that right of passage.

We now also have online modules in Turkish and the response has been amazing. Girls want to learn.  Girls want to be encouraged to blossom and excel.

Too often, they are told, education is extra.  It's not. It's a basic right and their excellence is not something that needs permission, but encouragement.

Every dollar you give to this cause encourages these girls to blossom. Thank you!

Thank you all for educating girls. 

To date,  help of all 27 donors including you, we have raised $2274 on GlobalGiving.  Each and every girl who gets a chance through this programme needs a helping hand and cannot thank enough donors like you.

In many ways, Turkey is modern and full of opportunities. But there are parts in which girls feel shy from trying. They are discouraged from their full potential. It's a country of beauty, grace and amazing entrepreneurship, but sometimes conflicting cultures and confusing direction.  

Education helps bring about not just opportunity but clarity. An understanding of what one can do with one's life.

So, as 2018 ends. Why not end the year on the magical note of transforming another life. Educate a girl or two today.  And, if you can't right now then please donate $10 or if you can $100. If each of the 27 donors donated $100, we would raise $2700, which would more than double our funds to date and help us educate 15 more girls!!!  That's fifteen lives changing, just by donating $100 today.  Yes, you can make a difference!
