Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Encouraging girls to stay in school gives them a chance for an education, an alternative to early marriage and other harmful cultural norms, and a chance to escape poverty. The potential impact of educating girls in Ethiopia is immeasurable.
Project Message
Because of the Scholarship Program, I was able to stay in school and escape impossible circumstances. Now I am graduating.
