Check out those smiles!

We paid our WEAPON beneficiaries a visit this month and found them working hard and full of gratitude and smiles! Some of them are preparing to graduate thanks to the scholarships you helped provide and some of them get to stay in school.

As we continue to help fund the educations of these 20 girls,  we are reminded that only 4% of Nigerian girls in the secondary school age group are enrolled in secondary school due to poverty. Studies have found that more girls than boys drop out, repeat grades, or do not finish the primary cycle. So, there is still work to be done and many more girls who need our support.

We have already done so much but we can do better. Did you know that a 0.3 percent boost in economic growth results from a one-percent increase in the number of girls finishing secondary school? Keeping girls educated and getting just even basic education can have such a huge impact! We are making a difference. Lets not stop here. Help us continue to grow the scholarship fund and increase the number of girls we sponsor for the coming year.

You support has made for some very happy girls. Check out these smiles!
