HISG Staff recently toured a secondary school for girls in one of the poorest communities of Nyala, Darfur. HISG was invited to the school by the Assistant Deputy Director for the Ministry of South Darfur Humanitarian Affairs. Approximately 400 girls attend this school, and most of them cannot afford to buy textbooks, so they go without. Many of the students also share a worn out or even broken chair and makeshift desk with at least one other student.
HISG is hoping to provide US$ 6,000 of textbooks, classroom tables and chairs for this school in Nyala. The girls in this school are disciplined and eager to learn, and the faculty are motivated to teach, even with such meager resources. This project will communicate a sincere respect for education and gender equality in Darfur. Please click here to donate to this project.
