Looking into 2024 – one of our next projects will be scholarships which include both education and leadership mentoring for girls. Focusing on a small group of girls in remote village areas we are looking to set up scholarships for schooling and leadership development days. This will be a totally new project but has come in response to requests and liaison with local leaders and families.
Educating girls is one of the most effective ways to transform communities. By identifying girls who do not have opportunity for schooling due to family situations (financial, distance from school etc), the scholarships not only support education but go beyond that to develop future female leaders. With the intensives leadership days, the girls are able to build strong bonds with each other and develop their own dreams and visions for their communities and families. This project will be continually evaluated by the families and communities of the girls to ensure it stays on track.
We would like to run a pilot group in 2023 with a small number of girls in the Kathmandu valley area. We are looking for initial supporters who can provide a one off donation of $40 to cover the cost for one girl to attend the full day course. Transport (as needed) and meals would be provided.
There is potential for those with social work, community development or youth work in their skill set to give personnel support as the project develops. To get a girl started on her leadership journey, contact Sarah.
