10,000 Girls
Kaolack, Senegal is a few miles east of Dakar. There is a great fledgling school there that I support. The plan of the school is to offer educational opportunity to 10,000 Senegalese village girls and to build self-sustaining educational and business organizations run by the girls themselves. They already have a good start on the planTheir website can show you how 10,000 Girls is different. It was began by Viola Vaughn in 2001. Viola is a transplanted American grandmother and someone who knows how to build solid foundations.For dozens of reasons that you can imagine village girls drop out of schools in Senegal. 10,000 Girls provides the essentials to overcome this: a place to study, time to study, books and materials, and a reason to study with an interdependent entrepreneurship program and projects run by the girls themselves.I will write again of this project and include pictures. But see their excellent website now.Eliza
