GIRLS LEARN INTERNATIONAL™, INC.
|
Jagriti Emerging Leaders Sadiqa Basiri
from Afghanistan and Kabita Upadhyay from Nepal have registered
their local schools in Kabul and Kathmandu with Girls Learn
International. Through participation in Girls Learn International,
young women from around the world will help to bridge the gap
in global girls' education, increase their global knowledge
and become empowered as agents of positive social change.
Girls Learn International is a non-profit service learning initiative
involving American girls in the international effort for global
girls' education. Girls Learn International Chapters are based
in middle schools and high schools in urban, suburban and rural
communities. College students may participate as Chapter facilitators
as part of the Girls Learn International College Leadership
Division.
Each Girls Learn International Chapter is paired with a "Partner
Classroom" in countries like Nepal, Afghanistan and India, providing
quality education to girls in a community in which girls have
traditionally been denied access to, or discouraged from commencing
or completing, education.
As part of the Girls Learn International service learning Program,
participants will engage in a variety of educational, communication,
advocacy and outreach projects on behalf of the Partner Classrooms
and global girls' education, and will develop the critical thinking
and problem solving skills essential to good leadership.
|
| The Girls Learn International mandate
is to: |
- Provide human rights education to young women currently
in middle school and high school;
- Foster global communication and cross-cultural understanding;
- Encourage young women to become advocates for positive
social change; and further the goal of global girls' education
by offering financial support and necessary goods and materials
to "Partner Classrooms".

Jagriti International is proud to partner
with Girls Learn International.
