The school has not had the budget to send any graduates on to secondary school, as the tuition was much higher than that of primary school. Unfortunately, that means that their road to a better future stops as they leave primary school. Going to secondary school will make such a huge and lasting impact on the girls. Through their own hard work and determination, they can make a life for themselves free from poverty. But they need your help!
The students have so many great ambitions. Some dream of becoming lawyers, nurses, doctors, and teachers to name a few. For many, this always remains just a dream. As they age through the school system, many students drop out and start working odd jobs to be able to live hand to mouth, day by day. This often happens around primary 3 to 5, as they realize that they will not be able to pay for secondary school.
For a few students like Darphine, Rebecca, Scovia, Betty, Dinah and Ketty, they have education as their number one priority. They have suffered and endured so much, but have not let their grades slip. If anyone deserve a scholarship and the chance to better themselves, it is these six girls.
While the cost of tuition is more expensive at secondary school (see post underneath this one for a cost breakdown), it is well worth it. With this opportunity, in a few years' time the girls could be choosing which university programs to apply to! However, if we fail at putting them into secondary school, their futures will look much different.
Please consider lifting a girl out of poverty by sponsoring her secondary school fees.
