Help us create sustainable change for girls and women around the globe through the CIRCLE OF SISTERHOOD FOUNDATION!
Just a small donation will go a long way to help our Panhellenic Community meet our goal for the CIRCLE OF SISTERHOOD FOUNDATION.
- $0.24 A notebook and a pencil—an essential part of a girl's schooling.
- $3.30 A nutritious noon meal—often the only food children receive during the day that is essential to students' learning, and sometimes have to walk 3 miles in hot weather to and from school.
- $ 7.00 A set of textbooks—to call her own.
- $29.00 A school uniform—so a girl can confidently enter school. For some girls, who may have one shirt and shoes that are taped together, a school uniform can significantly boost her confidence and inspire her to achieve.The reality is that a small amount of money can equate to a full year of school.
• $53.00—School for one year—equates to sending a girl in some parts of the developing world to school for one year with everything she needs to be successful – supplies, uniform, tuition and lunch every day.
