Did you know❔
AGHF girls on scholarship attend many different local schools.
We hold “AGHF Events” regularly in different locations to gather the girls in the surrounding areas.
Once or twice a year we bring the girls in the same areas together for one day. This event is organized by local AGHF Mentors with the help AGHF interns and vital volunteers.
This day is huge in their educational, mental, and emotional long-term success! At these events, the girls meet and learn from others similar situations. They are encouraged not only by each other, but powerfully by the AGHF Mentors. These mentors come to know each girl and her struggles and future goals. The mentors provide a realistic and positive plan for success. This is a proven method of success.
At “AGHF Events” the girls come together learning:
They are not abandoned and left alone (all of the AGHF girls are refugees and orphans). These girls come not only with a financial need, but many have suffered physical and emotional trauma. AGHF recognizes their courage and assists them in finding the joy they seek.
On their educational journey, they are not simply given money and well wishes, they become part of the AGHF Family. This relationship to AGHF gives them a support group to turn to. They find many people who are cheering for their success and helping them with their struggles. Each girl realizes the opportunity and expectations that come with her scholarship.
Success has many definitions. Of course good grades and health are the basics, but it means much more. Success is the smiles you see in these faces. Success is the confidence that is growing, the fear that is diminishing and the hope that is rising!
Voices Rising 🎤 Microphones Matter!
Have you ever been given a microphone? How did it make you feel? A little scared? Very nervous? But were you also a little bit excited? Excited to have the power to say what’s in your heart and be heard in a safe environment?
Being given a microphone, having your voice and your story heard is a key to soaring above trial and building confidence.
This event provided a chance for the girls to take the microphone and be heard! It is amazing to watch them struggle, rise and become stronger each day!
Thank you for your donations!
Donations were given out to all of the girls. Backpacks, school supplies, and feminine hygiene products.
An important part of each event is for each girl to receive the supplies she needs.
Our mentors assess and distribute these supplies. The supplies are vital tools for their educational success!
Did you know that feminine hygiene products are a school supply? These are essential for keeping the girls in school every day of the school year! Without these products, the girls would miss at least one week of school each month, fall behind in their studies, and many girls drop out of school during this time.
Thank you for being a girl’s education supporter!
Every donation makes a world of difference!!
Heros on the Rise!!
