We are committed to increasing access to education for women and girls. Why?
An educated girl is likely to marry later, have fewer kids, and watch those kids escape the poverty cycle. She is more likely to have her own income and spend it on her children's health. She will have better opportunities to improve her community, whose needs she knows best.
We can't reach our goals alone. Help support our projects:

Project Keiri Reki
It is with pride and excitement that we announce the beginning of our newest project: a secondary school for girls in Keiri Reki, Pakistan! Keiri Reki is a small village located in the town of Nathiagali in the mountainous northern region of the country. We plan to renovate and refurbish the facilities in an existing girls' school there, outfitting it with a computer lab and providing potable water for the students.
Follow Along! This summer, join Project Keiri Reki on site via our new blog: Notes from Nathiagali.
If you would like to contribute to Project Keiri Reki, the following list may help you gauge the impact of specific donations:
$18 will cover a student's tuition for a year
