This phenomenal young woman is Juliana. As you can see, she is absolutely gorgeous, both inside and out. Seven years ago Juliana joined our Outreach Program. She had scored very highly on her national exam in 8th grade and desperately wanted to attend high school, but she had no way to pay her fees. We became aware of her plight and enthusiastically welcomed her into the program, which covered her school costs. She joined as a freshman and continued in our program until she graduated. She would not have attended high school without the help of our #educate60 program and not only did she attend, but she excelled! Thank you to each and every one of you who helped to make her dream a reality!
She did so well that she received a government scholarship to attend university. These scholarships require the student to pay some fees and once again school fees were the only thing standing between Juliana and her promising educational future. At the same time, we decided to expand our RH Scholars to include some exceptional students from our outreach program and she was able to attend! She has continued to excel in her studies and in May she will graduate with her Bachelors in Education. Imagine if someone this bright was forced to end her education in 8th grade. Her career as a teacher will allow her to mentor countless future Julianas, too, thereby extending the gifts of her scholarship.
Juliana is one of those people who lights up a room with her kindness and enthusiasm. Investing in Juliana and students like her produces very high returns. Investing in them is investing in a better future for them, their communities, and the world. This is what we mean in our Mission Statement when we say that we support “positive and lasting change through the development of human potential.”
These young people are eager to learn and deserve the opportunity. You can help these promising students follow in Juliana's footsteps! We currently have 13 students' fees covered and are trying to get at least 47 more. Please donate today and know that you are directly contributing to a brighter future and a solid investment in a better world for us all.
