Room to Read’s Room to Grow Girls' Scholarship Program has an immediate and direct impact on the lives of thousands of girls in the developing world. An education provides security and support to girls who often grow up in very uncertain environments and empowers them to make informed life decisions. A solid education beginning in the early years is the key ingredient for improved status for women, which provides a ripple of positive effects throughout society.

Through this project, you can fund girls' scholarships in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam. These long-term, holistic scholarships make it possible for a girl, who would otherwise not have access to an education, to attend school through the secondary level.

By donating to this project, here’s what you could support:

• $250: The cost of a one-year scholarship for a girl in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam.

• $2,500: The cost of a ten-year scholarship for a girl in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam.
