From Her Voice, For Her Education - Kristina

Kristina is a 13-year-old girl living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Despite her hardships, she is determined to finish school. Help us reach our goal of raising $600 to fully fund the remainder of her secondary school education!

In Kristina's words, "I believe education helps us find our way in the world. For us to become an independent, strong human being, education is essential."

Kristina describes how gaining confidence in herself, and participating in class, has helped her stay motivated in school. An inspiration to all of us, she shows how getting over her fears will help her achieve her dream of one day becoming a doctor.

With your help, Kristina can continue her education, and achieve her dreams.

Consider making a monthly gift. When you give just $15 monthly, you ensure Kristina or another girl in Nepal has a permanent scholarship until she graduates.

Kristina is a Girls' Voices Scholar!

Kristina 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, Kristina learned media skills to tell her story. She made this video, called "Success Through Inspiration." Watch her video now to hear her story.

Girls' Voices is a Signature Program of GreaterGood.org intended to raise funds for girls' secondary education through media made by girls. Our goal is for girls around the world to connect to their voice, their dreams for their education, and use the power of digital media to create images, stories, and visual metaphors that can communicate their strength and potential to the world. The intention of this project is to empower girls to utilize videography to raise scholarship funds to remove financial barriers to completing secondary education.
