It is our vision that we can bring hope to the girls at Ayak Anguei Girls Primary School in Konbek, Southern Sudan and help to make their dreams of receiving an education a reality. We are partnering with Project Education Sudan, a US 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization, whose mission is to work with community leaders and village elders in Southern Sudan to help them build, staff, train and supply primary and secondary schools, as well as to provide adult education. 100% of the proceeds from Making a Difference (M.A.D.) for Education in Southern Sudan will be donated to Ayak Anguei through Project Education Sudan.
"In order to get a good education, we need modern classrooms with lights to study at night and dorms and bunk beds to sleep in to stay at school. If I become educated, I am able to make change." - Tabitha Amir, 16 years old, Ayak Anguei Student -
Why Sudan, Why Education
Sudan has the lowest access to primary education in the world (UNICEF)
Only 33% of children between the ages of 7-14 go to school (UNICEF)
Only 10% of girls, ages 7-14, go to school- this is the lowest rate in the world (UNICEF)
Only 1% of girls finish primary school; less than 1% graduate from high school (UNICEF)
Over 93% of all women in Southern Sudan are illiterate (UNICEF)
Only Afghanistan under the Taliban had fewer girls graduating from primary schools than in Southern Sudan today (Christian Science Monitor)
A friendship bracelet for every girl at Ayak Anguei.
We reached our goal!!
