Dear Pakistan Project Supporters,
Happy Women’s History Month to all of you. Needless to say our lives wouldn’t be the same without the strength and beauty that all of us have experienced from a female figure in our lives, be it a mother, a sister, a daughter, a co-worker, a friend, a loved one or a stranger. I believe, we are witnessing complicated but historically crucial times for gender equality. Trying to understand centuries old believes and misconceptions, once untangled, eventually will liberate all of us, women AND men. Then we can all have a chance to live to our full potential, with purpose and shear joy, having support and expectations not based on gender roles assigned by our societies but determined by individual choice and merit. Over and over again, it has been shown that education is one of the most direct ways to bring this change.
We have some good news at Girls Education International. Our Pakistan Project was approved for GlobalGiving Girl Fund Campaign. From March 1st through 15th, along with dozens of other organizations we will have an opportunity to move up the leaderboard by bringing in the most unique donors – if in the top four, securing a spot in the GlobalGiving Girl Fund, which will come with ongoing support from GlobalGiving for the remainder of 2018. Please consider donating https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/send-60-girls-in-pakistan-to-school/ and sharing our campaign with friends so we can continue supporting amazing young women in Pakistan.
We have some great success stories and news coming out from the field. This month we want to highlight Maryam, one of our students who is truly an inspiration for our work and your incredible support. We will let a short interview with her speak for itself. To see the video where Maryam speaks about her work, please link to our facebook page at Girls Education International.
Thank you for your continuous support and have a wonderful start to the spring!
