Scholarships for Girls.
GGEF provides scholarships to girls in developing countries who would otherwise be unable to attend school. Scholarships are given to girls in primary school, junior high and high school. We cover the cost of sending girls to school for the entire year, and if necessary, we also pay for transportation to school, and lunch. To remain in our program, a girl must complete the school year with satisfactory grades and attendance.
Focus on the Community.
When we initiate Scholarships for Girls in a new area, we are careful to facilitate good relationships with the parents, teachers and schools affected by our program. We address the cultural bias against educating girls by encouraging parents to send their daughters to school. We try to engage children and their parents by discussing with them how educating a girl benefits not only the girl, but also the family and community at large.
Girls Global Education Fund In China.
In 1997, Girls Global Education Fund launched its pilot program in China, sending 63 girls to school. Our next year, we sent 103 girls to school. Of the girls GGEF sent to school to date, all completed the school year and returned for the next. One of our students, Wang Wen Jun, scored so high on her final test that she was recruited to attend the best high school in the entire district.
