My Nonprofit Reviews

Girls With Books! represents the merger of two grass roots non profits that supported girls’ education in South Sudan. Girls With Books! and its two predecessor organizations achieved amazing results in South Sudan for nearly twenty years - building rural schools and educating hundreds of South Sudanese girls. South Sudan has one of the lowest female literacy rates in the world. Educating girls is a key component to making South Sudan a peaceful, prosperous democracy. I believe the success of Girls With Books! is due in large part to its indigenous leadership by South Sudanese refugees who understand the needs and difficulties of work on the ground in South Sudan. The work that Girls With Books! is doing is difficult but vital and worthy of support.

(and its predecessors) is due in large part to its indigenous leadership by South Sudanese refugees who understand the realities and needs in their former country. The work GWB! is difficult but vital and very worthy of support.
