growth through learning

Growth Through Learning is a non-profit charitable corporation founded on the premise that women are often the primary teachers of children, and that education, more than anything else, will help create a better society and a more meaningful way of life.

Extensive research has shown that many deserving and talented women and girls of East Africa are denied basic educational opportunities because of insufficient family income. Even primary school can be prohibitively expensive in a land where most people live on $1 per day.

A gift of $600/year will keep a young girl in school by providing school fees, uniforms, food, books, and supplies. It will teach her how to read and write in both English and her native language. It will give her the basic skills necessary to teach her own children how to add and subtract, to understand ideas, to strive for a better future.

GTL has neither a religious or political affiliation. Our goal is to encourage thoughtful progress and growth which only education can provide.
