SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GIRLS
With a monthly scholarship of €20, girls can continue their education, complete school, and go on to university or vocational training.
The girls come from extremely disadvantaged backgrounds and most live with their mother or an aunt. They are highly motivated and must achieve excellent academic results every six months to remain in the programme.
A social worker supports each girl and maintains regular contact with the school, the family, and the local authorities. The monthly scholarship is used to purchase books, school supplies, hygiene products, and to pay modest school fees.
Currently, around 10 former scholarship recipients are studying at various universities. They remain in the scholarship programme until they graduate and also receive support as they transition into employment.
