By Merritt Frey, Executive Director

Because of you, we exceeded our $10,000 Gift of Education Giving Challenge goal and met the $10,000 match, raising a total of $28,000 for our students.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart and thank you from our students. Your generosity means a lot of:

• New, much-needed textbooks

• Support to help girls stay in school and thrive there

• Training and support for our teachers

• Health and hygiene trainings for students

• Scholarships for outstanding graduates

• And more!

Our special gratitude also goes out to the Johnson family, who so helpfully provided the matching challenge for your donations.

In fact, the Johnson family was so excited by your support that they have expanded their challenge grant to match any additional gifts up to $20,000! We still have $2,000 to go to meet that goal, so if you intended to give and missed the deadline....you still have time to get your gift doubled.
