Dear Freinds and Supporters Namaste and Happy Holidays !
In the rural Himalayan communities of Nepal, where The Small World is working, gender gap in higher education is very high. The lack of financial support for higher education for girls in Nepal is a significant challenge that forces girls to quit their studies. Out of 10 girls, 6 dropped out of school after grade 10. Moreover, 40% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of 18. They need economic support to continue their education and seek a dignified life for themselves and the country.
When you support this project you will directly support 100 girls for university-level education in subjects like Law, Medicine, civil engineering, architecture, crisis management, journalism, IT, etc to help pursue their educational goals. This project aims to empower girls by helping them finish university degrees and break gender barriers, give women economic independence, and have women represented in leadership roles in the mainstream for sustainable change.
Please meet with our girls
