From Her Voice, For Her Education – Anita
Anita is a 17-year-old girl living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Despite her hardships, she is determined to finish school. Help us reach our goal of raising $300 to fully fund the remainder of her secondary school education!
Funds raised over the goal amount will help other deserving girls like Anita attend school in Nepal.

In Anita’s words, “Art is my education through which I will be able to accomplish my goals.”
Girls around the world face many barriers as they seek their education. For many of those who are fortunate enough to attend school, they are still not given the opportunity to study what interests them most.
With your help, Anita can continue pursuing what she loves, and complete her secondary education.
Consider making a monthly gift. When you give just $15 monthly, you ensure Anita or another girl in Nepal has a permanent scholarship until she graduates.
Anita is a Girls’ Voices Scholar!
Anita participates in Girls’ Voices, GreaterGood.org’s signature girls’ empowerment program ensuring that girls around the world complete secondary school and gain the confidence they need to succeed.
During Girls’ Voices, Anita learned media skills to tell her story. She made this video, called “Art is My Passion,” to share her love for the art that is all around her. Watch her video now to hear her story.
