| Hope Scholars |
|
The Hope scholarship program provides funds to some of the poorest children in the developing world. It makes a university education or education at a vocational training centre possible. Many of these children have battled great adversity but have continued to pursue education because they too understand that ‘education can break the cycle of poverty'. Many of these children have studied by candlelight at night after hours of toil others have been able to attend free government schools. But without your support none of these children will be able to pursue a university education. Amazingly it can cost as little as $20 a month over 3 years for an undergraduate education. The Hope Scholars program commenced in Vietnam, India and Sri Lanka but hopes to soon offer support to young leaders in other nations of the world where poverty stifles their process, and limits their opportunities. In the coming year the program is looking to commence partnerships with organisations in Bangladesh and Ecuador.
