Summer Camp: Each girl
attends a 3-week summer camp. If not for this program, not only would the girls

structure of a schedule, they might unfortunately find themselves falling back
in their progress in mental and physical health. |

Stipends for Higher Education:
Each year 8-10 girls graduate and complete their High School studies. We
