Educating Asia's Women, One Scholarship At A Time
Organization information
Asian University for Women Support Foundation
Location: Cambridge, United States of America
Summary
Women's education is the key to human progress. A child whose mother can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age of five. As female education rises, the number of child brides drops. When women earn income, they reinvest 90% of it into their families. These and many more reasons inspired the creation of Asian University for Women (AUW), a liberal arts university in Bangladesh which aims to educate Asia's women to become leaders and promoters of sustainable human and economic development.
