IN PRIMARY EDUCATION, ONLY
OF THE WORLD’S COUNTRIES HAVE ACHIEVED GENDER EQUALITY
The Reality
Access to education is a human right, yet 130 million girls worldwide are denied the opportunity to study due to gender inequality. Statistics show that geographical areas that educate their female population have stronger economies, less crime and a greater sense of community. Scholarships bring hope and progress for a better future.
Global Impact
Donors to The Cynthia Lennon Scholarship for Girls at The White Feather Foundation have provided 55 scholarships (and counting) for girls in Ethiopia, Kenya, the United Kingdom and the United States; recipients have graduated to build better lives for themselves as successful entrepreneurs, fashion designers, teachers, nurses and journalists.

This is such a wonderful project, I hope to make another donation soon!♥️🙏🏻
While it’s always nice to receive a gift on one’s birthday (mine is in a couple of days), I would rather be someone who sends a gift than receive one, With that in mind, I have just sent a donated to the Cynthia Lennon Scholarship For Girls in honor of Julian’s beautiful Mum on her birthday. Happy Birthday in heaven, Cynthia! ❤️🙏
