A Letter of Thanks from Kenyan Scholar Vivian

By Amy Maglio | Founder & Executive Director

Thank you for supporting Women's Global Education Project and our Sisters to School program in Kenya! Your support helps WGEP provide critical scholarships to girls like Vivan in rural Kenya who otherwise lack the opportunity to go to school.

Here is a letter we received from Vivian in which she describes how the program has impacted her life: 

 I am a ninth grade and I am writing to you in acceptance of the aid that you give me. It is of great and wonderful assistance to me. It is enabling me to run through my education smoothly with no disturbances, as opposed to what was happening before. In the past, I was often sent out of school due to lack of funds, but with your support I was able to stay in school throughout the duration of the term. Thank you very much for that support.

I promise that I will utilise this opportunity effectively so that at the end of it all I will be a useful person in society.

Again, I am very grateful for the provision of personal effects such as sanitary pads so that I can sit in class comfortably during the time of my menses. I also enjoy you guidance and counselling very much.

Thank you very much and may you be blessed.

Yours faithfully,

Vivian

Ikawa High School

Thank you for partnering with us in this important, life-changing work! Your supports allows us to provide critcial interventions to girls like Vivian so that they may go to school and thrive.
