The girls are referred to the Education fund from a diverse
network of contacts in the Commonwealth.
The Fund has sponsored over 3,000 girls in over 30 Commonwealth countries giving
them the opportunity to achieve their ambitions, expand their horizons and take
their rightful place in the community. Many have gone on to careers in medicine,
teaching, tourism, telecommunications and accountancy. Others work in libraries,
the legal system, the computer industry and forestry/agriculture. All have
developed skills benefiting themselves, their families and their communities;
many have a status previously denied to them. The work continues – from Pakistan
to Papua New Guinea, Guyana to The Gambia, Bangladesh to Botswana, The Solomon
Islands to St Vincent, Trinidad & Tobago to Tanzania and Ghana to Grenada. |
