More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
The enrollment of girls in Ethiopian schools is relatively high. However, girls usually do not continue through high school. They bear the burden of heavy household chores and the practice of early marriages often ends a young girl’s chances for an education. This project offers scholarships and school supplies to outstanding girls from poor homes and encourages parents to keep their daughters in school through high school.
Activities
This project selects outstanding female students and provides them with in-country scholarships and a stipend. Quarterly community meetings are held that include parents and teachers. The meetings encourage the girls to continue with their education.
Funding Information
Total Funding Received to Date: $3,527

Project Message
When I was selected to receive 170 birr per month from the Amhara Women’s Association, together with another school mate, I stopped selling nuts on the streets and concentrated on my education.
