Girls' education: A lifeline to development
Based on the first class of students who started the 3-year program in 2007, we can announce some excellent results. Of the 20 girls admitted to the program, we are about to graduate 17, only two got pregnant during their participation and one dropped out. Within the same time period, out of the 22 applicants who were not admitted because of capacity limitation, 17 got pregnant, married, or both
We started with only the goal to educate girls, but now we realize that the Mais Escola para Mim program is indeed a cultural norm changing program. One of the main reasons for giving secondary education to girls in rural districts is to break the vicious cycle of illiteracy, child marriage, pregnancy and poverty. Your donation will help us support more students in this life-changing program.
