Her future hinges on, staying in school…
Discrimination continues in India, especially for girls within the education system. You might be surprised to find out why. Quite often girls are forced to drop out of school due to the high cost of school fees. A 2018 survey by the Indian Government found that rural families pay 10 percent more for school fees, books and uniforms than those families in urban areas. And yet the majority of rural families live in poverty.
Many girls, still today, are forced to quit school as families continue the cycle of giving their daughters away in marriage. Families, especially in India are stuck in their old cultural beliefs. They also lack options and funding to help with care and education of their daughters.
But together, we can supply girls and their families with a far better option—school fees and supplies paid for so girls don’t have to quit school!
By giving a gift today, you can help girls stay in school and have a far better future.
Give a gift of any amount to help a girl stay in school. Your gift will help provide her books, stationery and a uniform.
