NEPAL

she learns: Scholarship Program

Together with our on-the-ground Nepali partner, Creating Possibilities, whose field staff themselves were at one time indentured, Her International worked directly with families to curb the selling of young girls into bonded labour. While this practice is no longer legal, families are still not able to provide their children (mainly girls) with educational opportunities due to extreme poverty.

$33 monthly covers the following expenses for one full year: school admission and exam fees, group tutoring, school uniform, house dress, shoes and socks, school bag, school supplies (books, paper, pencils, and pens, etc.), personal hygiene products (toothbrush, tooth paste, soap, sanitary napkins, etc.) and a bicycle (once they reach the requirements).

CANADA

In Canada we work in two ways:

1) Empower Her workshops

These workshops are designed to help young girls connect inwards and with others through mindfulness, conscious listening practices, anti-bullying, vision boards, journal prompts and movement.

2) She Creates weekly program

Learning to be a leader in one’s own life and in their community is an integral part of our programming. Participants of our She Creates course learn entrepreneurship, communication, planning, and healthy emotional skills through hands-on, active learning methods..
