Educating the Poorest of the Poor
Compassion Beyond Borders educates girls and women in 130 communities and neighborhoods of Latin America, East Africa and South Asia, sponsoring projects in at least two countries in each of these areas.
CBB funds scholarships and schools for girls in Afghanistan, Guatemala, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nepal and for Tibetan refugees in India. CBB supports co-ed schools when they are the most effective means for educating impoverished girls.
CBB funds adult education for women in Afghanistan, India, Kenya, and Nepal that usually includes training in literacy, health care, women's rights, and micro-business skills.
The schools and education centers that Compassion Beyond Borders funds become a resource to their community, transforming the lives not only of the girls and women, but of their families and neighborhoods as well.
