World Appeal has donated a further £4,000, half of it raised by Challney Girls School in Luton. It will fund youth microfinance and a new school fees programme.
World Appeal has donated a further £4,000 to MASYAP, £2,000 of which was raised by Challney Girls School in Luton. Thank you!
How the money will be used
- Youth microfinance: half of the donation will expand our youth microfinance scheme, allowing more than 50 additional girls to join.
- School fees: the other half will go to MASYAP’s new school fees programme, keeping more than 50 vulnerable girls in school for a year.
Why educating girls matters
The school fees programme pays for the education of girls whose families could not otherwise afford it. This benefits the girls, their families and their communities. According to UNICEF, each additional year of secondary school increases a girl’s earning potential by 15%, and maternal and infant mortality rates are much lower among educated women.
