"I want to educate a girl out of my paycheque," stated Jaweria Ali, Educate a Girl Winner #25. Jaweria today is a News Anchor on HTV Pakistan and has become a local celebrity when just a few months ago she had great potential, but no job and limited options. "Winning the Educate a Girl scholarship has changed my life for the better and I want to do the same for another girl."
And so she did. Jaweria funded a scholarship for Educate a Girl Winner #316 Marwah Malik, changing her life for the better. Today, Marwah is studying to be a journalist at the Institute of Journalism, but she is determined to get a great job and one day educate another girl.
See them both in the below video:
To date, almost 450 scholarships have been funded out of our mission to educate 1000 deserving girls in Karachi. Out of the 254 girls who have graduated, 2 girls so far have donated scholarships from their paycheques and many others have gotten great jobs and become vital contributors to society.
Although we have a transparent one donor one recipient platform for just $100, please feel free to participate in any amount and your contributions go toward making a difference. To date, all global giving donations have been matched to deserving girls and we need your help in spreading the word so that more people can join us and we can become a permanent member of this great site.
Together, we can change lives.
