Program accomplishments
- We currently support the education of 116 girls, ages 12 to 20. At present, we support 66 students in South Sudan; 20 in primary school and 46 in secondary school. In Uganda, we support 50 students from 6 different refugee camps and send them to well established boarding schools that also have Ugandan students. Of the 50 Students, 16 are in primary school and 34 are in secondary school. Since our merger in October 2022, 112 girls have graduated from secondary school. To provide these girls with a post graduate education, we created a basic computer skills course in Juba, South Sudan. 46 girls came to the class in 2024-2025. We continue to stay in touch with our graduates and provide opportunities for the girls to meet periodically.Expenses $216,379 · revenue $319,848
