Eck's Birthday Fundraiser
In lieu of gifts, please consider making a suggested donation below to a cause very near and dear to my heart. I had the opportunity to visit Nepal with Trevor Patzer this spring and was inspired by him to make this pledge after seeing first hand the amazing work that Little Sisters Fund does.
Little Sisters Fund (LSF) believes every girl deserves a quality education and a life free from trafficking, gender-based violence, and child labor. Since 1998, LSF has empowered marginalised girls and women in Nepal through scholarships, education, and support programs that remove barriers to success. Each year, LSF supports over 2,300 at-risk girls in primary and secondary school. LSF graduates enrol in higher education at rates four times the national average.
The Technical Trade School (TTS) program offers an accelerated STEM path, enabling girls to gain employable skills 3 years sooner than traditional university routes. TTS is especially beneficial for Little Sisters from the poorest families who are most in need of contributing to their family's financial stability. Once at risk of early marriage and school dropout, Little Sisters are now becoming confident, educated leaders with the skills and resources needed to break the cycle of poverty and become changemakers for themselves, their families and their communities.
