Enpowering Young Women Through Education

It's a hard world out there - both for men and women - but let's face it, women have so many more challenges to struggle through to be able to reach their educational goals in life - especially the girls born into poverty. Young women need to know that if they motivate themselves and stay focused to be all that they can be, they will be rewarded with the financial funding to reach their goal. They should not fear that, even if they work hard in school, they will end up living the same life of poverty as their own mothers because of a lack of funds to attend college or university. Young women need to know who they are - what their own personal possibilities are, and how to reach their goals.

At Live and Learn in Kenya International we accentuate the fact that girls are just as good as boys from nursery school up to university. Our goal is to provide the means for all of the girls to be educated in the way they themselves see fit. But it is important that they know that they aren't working hard just to end up in the same situation as their mothers before them - a life of poverty and doing casual work instead of what they really want and have the intelligence to do.

Dreams are just something to wake up from if you don't do something to make them happen. We at Live and Learn in Kenya International have made it our own goal to give every single girl on our program the possibility to be all that she can be and to make her dreams come true - whether it is to be a self-reliant seamstress or a doctor - she must be given the means to make her dreams come true. We are empowering girls to grow into women who will make changes in the world! And because of your wonderful donations, we are making it happen - even for the poorest of the poor!
