Girls of Promise provides scholarships for girls in the Harrisburg area.  Since parents often lack money to pay for young girls to go to school, all too often they are kept home to help their mothers care for the house and their siblings.  This scholarship covers costs for school fees, uniforms, and supplies and enables young girls to attend school.  They are provided with supports and mentors who encourage them to stay in school. Some of the girls are learning to sew in the Women’s Empowerment Center while others are learning about agriculture.
