EDUCATION
Why college:
Higher education improves individual lives and enriches a wider society. Higher education raises wages and productivity, which makes both individuals and countries richer. College graduates earn higher wages and achieve higher standing within the society in general. What doors would be opened if they were given this opportunity?
Why Help:
Many prepared and talented students cannot access higher education because the costs exceed their means. These include tuition, room/board, books, material, and transportation.
What if all of these could be provided for 75$ a month?
Why Us:
Only 55% of children in Myanmar attend any high school. Of those, only 30% will go on to graduate. While the costs are relatively low for college education, the option to attend is not common for the poor and working classes. All of the kids we support attend high school. Many even qualify for post-secondary educational opportunities.
What difference would it make for orphaned Christians to acquire degrees in a Buddhist nation?
We are committed to ensuring that all of our kids get every opportunity that is available for them. The expectations are high that they attend school and perform to the best of their abilities.
We are proud to say that our students are attending and completing at a rate above the national average.
​
The next step is to ensure that they are not hindered only by finance to continue their goals of finding success in Myanmar.
