"'In my village it has been boys who attend university though many gitls are capable. I want to change this for myself and motivate other girls to follow their dream of further education too"
"Just because my family is poor should not mean I cannot continue my education.
Education is important for me for a better future"
"If I go to University I can continue to learn and then make changes to my country since I will be educated and can be listened to"
"My hope in the future is to be someone who is useful to others. I want to achieve things with my life"
"With a good job as a teacher I can change my life to be better for my family and I can influence the lifes of other children"
​
"I want to change the custom in my village of marrying young and missing out on further education and pursuing our dreams"
Extra Insight From the Girls
"I knew that the economic condition of my family was far from sufficient to finance me to enter college, but I really wanted to continue my studies and make my family proud"
​
"the benefit of women's education for my village is that it reduces the chances of women getting married at an early age"
​
"the presence of educated women will also produce higher-achieving children, because women are the first schools for their children"
​
"women also need to have higher education because, with this education woman can also contribute to advancing this nation"
