In this short video Nitin explains how we are helping more vulnerable and out-of-school girls, especially those with disabilities, to benefit from a quality education.

So far 2,525 girls have been taught new skills to increase their future employability and raise their self-esteem.

Read Panum’s story...

At the age of seven, Panam was pulled out of her first year of school because her parents could not keep up with the cost of books, stationery and uniform. 

But with the support of the VSO community, volunteers were able to step in and help her get back inside of the classroom... 

“Being able to study at school has brought me great happiness and delight”

A community volunteer connected with Panum’s parents to share the importance of education for girls. VSO’s ENGAGE project financially supported Panum’s to enroll back into school. To make up for her gap year from school she attended catch up classes for 9 months!  Panum is now doing exceptionally well at school and loves being with her friends. 

Please donate now to give another girl like Panum a chance to get back into education.
