The expense of educating an impoverished girl or illiterate woman depends upon international exchange rates, local costs and conditions, and the particular schooling or training being provided. Annually,
$1,000 trains a group of 15 low-caste women in literacy, health care, women's rights and micro-business skills, Nepal
$600 sponsors the education of a dozen tribal girls in a small Indian orphanage
$500 provides a scholarship to a blind girl in India
$400 meets the expenses of a Mayan schoolgirl, Guatemala
$200 schools a child living in one of the former garbage dumps of Juarez, Mexico
$180 sends an AIDS orphan girl to school in Kenya
$150 educates a Tibetan refugee girl in India
$50 supports the literacy training of an Afghan girl that will enable her to enter a public school at an appropriate grade level
$50 is CBB's average cost of educating an impoverished girl or illiterate woman in Latin America, South Asia and East Africa
$45 funds the education of a Dalit ("untouchable") or Muslim girl in India.
$40 finances a woman's literacy and health care training in India.
$11 teaches a Dalit ("untouchable") child at an alternative education center in India
Since CBB's staff are volunteers and overhead costs are covered by private grants, 100% of contributions go to educate women and children.
