News and statistics can be depressing!
Over the past week, our team did some research on girl statistics and found out that, according to the United Nations, there is a high dropout rate for girls (we already knew that) - and their enrolment in secondary education is low with net a secondary school attendance rate of 33 %
Only 1 in 3 girls! That is depressing!
That speaks to us of so many lives with missed and lost opportunities!
Thankfully we are together helping to reverse these depressing statistics and turn the tide - one child at a time. YOU are a big part of making this happen and we are sooo grateful for your support.
Here's some good news to cheer your day - Fatmata (pictured) is one of the young ladies that because of YOUR support now has new hope. Thanks to your donation, Fatmata's dream of on-going education is a reality! She is NOT part of the statistics!
Fatmata send her warm appreciation to YOU. She now feels loved and confident when she goes to school. The funds we provided covered her fees / related school costs and paid for her after-school lessons. This support has given her the impetus and renewed zeal to work hard towards her upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination.
This news just made my day and we hope it makes your day too!
Looking for more good news? In just over a month, you will have the opportunity to have your donation matched at 30% on Wednesday, May 7th.
Please add this to your calendar and JOIN US in turning the Tide!
