Give the Gift of Education to Bolivian Girls

March 8 GlobalGiving will match your donation

to Helping Hands because it is

International Women’s Day!!! 

DONATE HERE to support more girls like Genesis.   

Genesis lives with her mother, who is a seamstress, and her grandmother.  When Genesis dreamed of being a doctor, her mother and grandmother tried to discourage her as they did not have the income necessary to support Genesis at the university. Medicine requires much dedication and the expense of equipment, books and transportation.  Her aunts and uncles also tried to discourage her because of the expense and the fact that she was a girl.

However, Genesis was determined and took the demanding exams for entrance to the state university, the UMSA, which is free if you can pass the rigorous exams.   Genesis passed the exams and looked for support which she found in Helping Hands.

Genesis is now in her second year of Medicine and passed all of her courses, but the happiest part for her is that now her mother, grandmother, aunts and uncles all encourage her and are proud of her accomplishments.

DONATE HERE to support more girls like Genesis.   

Dear Donors on GlobalGiving,

2018 was a great year for our GlobalGiving girls.  Thanks to your support, four of our girls graduated from high school and are now furthering their studies.  We are very pleased to report that Leidy earned a scholarship to study a 3 year university technical program in Entrepreneurship at the prestigious Universidad Catolica Boliviana.  Nataly passed the exams and has now begun Veterinary Medicine, also at the Universidad Catolica Boliviana in their rural program.  Jessica has begun her 3 year program of studies in Gastronomy at the Instituto Nueva Bolivia and Yoselin has begun her studies in Business Administration at the Universidad Central.  We are so proud of these girls.

 Two of the GlobalGiving girls finished their post-secondary studies. Esther completed her three year program in Early Childhood Education and Ayde completed her coursework for Commercial Engineering.  She will finish her thesis this year. Congratulations to these two girls and a heartfelt thanks to all our donors who have made this possible.

This year, 2019, four more of our GlobalGiving girls will be finishing their post-secondary studies in Nursing, Gastronomy, Special Education, and Early Childhood Education.

We can all be very proud of our girls who have overcome so many disadvantages to make it this far.  The opportunity to have a profession is a life changer for our girls who come from very vulnerable backgrounds.   Their future and that of their families is so much brighter.   

THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL OF OUR DONORS WHO ARE MAKING THIS POSSIBLE.

If you are interested in receiving the accounting for the GlobalGiving funds for 2018, please write to lindazaratehhp@hotmail.com  and we will be happy to send it to you.

Of course, we will continue to support our girls this year 2019 as they progress in their studies.  Donations are so very welcome at   Give the Gift of Education to 31 Bolivian Girls (35024)  as we wish to raise another $10,000 in 2019 to keep 31 GlobalGiving girls in school. 

MUCHOS SALUDOS DESDE LA PAZ
