Help Educate 40 Bright Girls in Lesotho

 I’d like to start this message with a massive thank you for your generous support in the GlobalGiving Girl Fund Campaign at the beginning of March. This was the first of this year’s campaigns and the $770 raised on this occasion is enough to fund books and stationery for 7 of the 40 girls, for example. This is a substantial contribution to the funds needed to carry forward our joint work of supporting the young women in 2018.

Your continuing generous donations are giving the girls the confidence to settle into their school work and to aspire for futures they would otherwise have just dreamed about but not dared to hope they could attain. The constant fear of being laid off school when fees are unpaid adversely affects the girls’ performance at school. With the fees paid, the girls are able to focus on their studies and generally do really well. For example, Katleho, one of the girls who completed high school with some of the best results in 2017 is now seeking funding for university education. She wants to study medicine. This is her message to you:

I am really grateful for the help I received. My mother was struggling to find the money to pay for my school fees as she also has to pay for my younger brother. The money I got through Educare Fund helped a lot. I sincerely hope you carry on with this work. Your generosity is making a huge difference to girls like me.

Educare Fund continues to aspire to reach more and more bright girls from poorer families in Lesotho, the aim in view being to enable these families to gradually lift themselves out of poverty. As each girl finishes high school and goes on to further education, she takes her family one step away from poverty. We are forever grateful for your continued support in this work and we know that we would achieve much less without it.

Thank you so much

Warm regards
