Scholarship Program Our mission is to break the cycle of ignorance and poverty through free education. FreeSchools World Literacy has developed a scholarship program to help talented children, particularly girls, who are otherwise too poor to attend regular school during the day. These students are usually already attending a free evening school where the teachers have noted that they are showing above-average ability. The cost to send these children to a regular school is just $6 per month or $72 per year in India and $10 per month or $120 per year in Thailand. Your contribution will help such students to: • complete their school education • obtain a career far more fitting to their ability • better support their poor family • take a place in their local community and complete the cycle

"Study after study has taught us that there is no toll for development more effective than the education of girls and the empowerment of women. No other policy is as likely to raise economic productivity, lower infant and maternal mortality, or improve nutrition and promote health, including the prevention of HIV/AIDS." |
