Help Educate 40 Bright Girls in Lesotho

Earlier in the year, I told you Lerato’s story. She had just finished high school and had got the best grades in her year. She informed us all that she plans to study medicine and that her ultimate goal is to become a cardiologist. She says she knows that if it had not been for your kind support she most likely would not have got this far. Here’s how she puts it:

Your help is really appreciated. Without it, I probably would eventually have finished high school, but with my father unemployed and my mother in a low-paid factory job, it would have been very difficult indeed. My mother also supports my younger sister, who is in primary school, so I would have had to drop out of school on and off when she couldn’t manage the fees. 

But here’s the good news.  As Lerato got such good grades in her final exams, she secured government funding to study for a baccalaureate at the international school in the capital town. This means she is one step closer to starting her medical course. All this has been made possible by your generous donations. 

The end of the current school year is fast approaching and another 13 young women sponsored by Educare Fund will be writing their final high school exams. With the future ahead of them, we hope they will follow in Lerato’s footsteps and get the best results they can so they can achieve their dreams. This again is all thanks to you. 

As in previous years, Educare Fund is gearing up for participation in the end-of-year fundraising campaigns. Tuesday 28th November is this year’s #GivingTuesday and marks the start of the 2017 End of Year Fundraising Campaign.  We are, of course, yet again asking for your support in these campaigns. 

On behalf of Educare Fund, I want to extend our sincere gratitude for your continuing support. Your generous donations are having a major impact, helping us make a positive difference in the future lives of the young women in Lesotho. 

Thanks again for your generosity and support.

Warm regards
