Will you stand with girls like Nina* and Izna*, who don't belong anywhere?
Girls living with disabilities in poor communities in Nepal face significant challenges and risks - poverty, discrimination and isolation. Denied choice, a voice and an education. It's not right, or fair.
But it CAN change. VSO is empowering girls back into education. They receive tailored and extensive support from VSO expert volunteers, as do their families and teachers. Nina and Izna’s lives have been transformed with education.
There are thousands of girls like Nina and Izna who we urgently need to reach. Will you donate to help change another girl's future?
Girls have the right to learn, but up to 95% of children with disabilities are out of school**.
Help a vulnerable girl who is missing out on an education.
Nina and Izna were born with a hearing impairment. They are bright and eager to learn, but their disability meant they couldn't go to school. With no teacher equipped to teach them sign language, the girls were unable to communicate with anyone outside of their families. They grew up isolated at home, cooking, cleaning and feeding the cattle.
Things CAN change. Stand with a girl today.
Thanks to changemakers like you, Nina and Izna now have the support of a VSO teacher and “Big Sister” mentor. Not only are they learning the alphabet, writing, and maths, but they have also found friendship in each other. Through the incredible power of people, they are gaining the skills and confidence they need for a brighter future – together.
Will you give a gift to help more girls get the life-changing support and education they need for a brighter future?
