The number of girls now attending school in OA's 11 schools increased to an all time high of 846 during this most recent school year! Our work educating parents on the importance of girls attending school continues to make a difference and YOUR support continues to fund educational opportunities for those girls whose familes can't afford it.
It is our moral obligation to empower these young girls. But even from a practical standpoint, it makes sense. An article from November 2013 in The Economist states, "Economists see reducing sexual inequality in education as a vital part of promoting development. The failure to educate girls limits economic growth in the developing world by wasting human capital."
Please continue to invest in these young girl's lives and we'll do our part to ensure that their schools are well-equipped with qualified teachers, books and supplies.
Thank you!
