GIRLS ADVANCEMENT
For girls who are educated beyond primary school, the likelihood of an early marriage is reduced significantly.
The Remember Niger Coalition is supporting education for girls and young women by providing more opportunities for secondary school and advanced degrees. For girls who are educated beyond primary school, the likelihood of an early marriage is reduced significantly. Furthermore, the longer a girl stays in school, the less likely she is to be married before the age of 18. With pregnancy and childbirth before the age of 18 leading to a number of complications, including both maternal and infant mortality, there are numerous reasons to push for girls to stay in school.
Scholarships for Girls
The Remember Niger Girls’ Scholarship Program makes it possible for secondary school girls ages 11-22 to continue attending school. There are two ways to contribute to the scholarship program.
• Individual Scholarships
You can support a girl in need. In doing so, you provide her with a quality education, tuition, books & supplies, as well as meals & boarding when needed. In return, you will receive a photo & information about the student, a student progress report, a Christmas card and photo, the opportunity to write your student, and a letter from your student. The commitment is $50 per month or $600 annually.
• Girls Scholarship Fund
This special fund provides support for a group of girls who need financial assistance for tuition, books and supplies, meals and boarding (needs vary according to school). Your gift of any amount is greatly appreciated.
