Last year, Her Star Scholars sponsored 8 kids in Burkina Faso. This year, we were able to send an additional eleven girls to school, more than doubling our number for a total of 19 ! Here is Samira, one of those girls, who is attending school for the first time. Hurray! We are thankful for sponsors who made it possible for these girls to go to school as well as receive their own bike and a six month supply of food for their families.
The mission of Her Star Scholars is to help girls and young women around the world go to school, to provide enrichment programs, and skills training that will help girls reach their educational potential.
