The Story of this Project...
The girls you see below have struggled their whole life to get an education, and now is the defining moment in their lives: whether they will continue on to have the chance to graduate, or to drop out and most likely to be forced into marriage.
These ten girls are painfully aware of the impact their staying in school this year will have on the rest of their lives.
Watch these girls videos and learn more about their feelings on education. They need support to stay in school another year. Donate now to make an overwhelming difference in these young ladies' lives.
