Young Scholars Program
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. -Mandela
How it began.
As the One Thread Project developed, we learned that a woman who is going to school all day is not in the market selling. And if she is not in the market selling, she is not making the money she needs to buy food for her family that day and pay the school fees for her children. The Young Scholars program was developed to break that barrier.
Join the project
The Young Scholars program gives students in our program tuition assistance so their children can go to school. We have children who are just starting Kindergarten to those who are beginning High School. They want to be pastors, teachers, doctors, and one would like to be the President of Congo! As they watch their Moms learn at a new school, start a new business, and become esteemed in their communities, they learn that they can dream too!
When you add your thread to the Young Scholars program you are giving tuition assistance for one school year, one uniform for the year, and school supplies.
