In 2024, a $10,000 grant from the Circle of Sisterhood helped fund teacher salaries and supplies for an after-school program serving 150 girls living in extreme poverty in Nepal. The grant was awarded to Sunsar Maya, an organization focused on helping vulnerable women and children in Nepal build sustainable pathways out of poverty through education and holistic care. This quote comes from one of the students whose life has been transformed through the after-school program. Her joy and pride show just how powerful access to education can be. Together, we can open even more doors for girls around the world. Let’s keep making an impact! #testimonialtuesday #educategirls #educatewomen #cofs #circleofsisterhood @sunsarmaya (fb)

Thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Circle of Sisterhood in 2024, four community-based education (CBE) centers were established in northern Afghanistan reaching approximately 120 students, primarily girls. The grant was awarded to Central Asia Institute, an organization committed to advancing education and livelihood skills for girls and women in remote and mountainous regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan. This quote comes from one of the dedicated educators who was recruited to work at one of the newly established CBE centers made possible by this CofS grant award. Her words reflect the deep pride and purpose that education brings not just to students, but to those who teach. CofS grants create life-changing opportunities through education. Join us in expanding access to education for girls and women around the world. #testimonialtuesday #educategirls #educatewomen #cofs #circleofsisterhood @centralasiainstitute (fb)
