DONATE FOR TUITION FOR PREGNANT YOUNG WOMEN
Fundraising Goal: $2,450 Amount Raised So Far: $0 When the school closed for several months last year due to COVID, students returned home.

School administrators are supportive and would like to enable these young women to finish their educations to better support their families. Help us provide the last two terms of tuition, fees and equipment and enable these five young women to finish their vocational programs. |
