Organization information
Asia America Initiative
Location: Washington, United States of America
Summary
Globally, Muslim women have lacked educational opportunities to benefit their communities. This program began in Sulu Province, Philippines in 2015. Our goal was to provide 50 female students with a quality education in order to launch their nursing careers. Sulu is comprised of 19 island districts, with a population of close to 1 million people, and is served by only 16 medical doctors. Nurses are the framework of public health. Thus far, AAI has helped some 225 young women to become nurses.
