Help The Helpless Girls

Girls Education and Gender Equity
Ministries for the Helpless provides the
scholarship to girls in low-income countries and
people who have been living for centuries under
the ancient cultural tradition when it comes to
girl education. Working closely with our
volunteers among the poor communities who may
agree to send their daughters to school but can
not afford to pay. We counsel with them and give
options.  Last year, we were able to enroll three
girls in the college of nursing, a three-year
R.N. degree course.  scholarships are identified
based on financial needs, scholastic achievement,
and their potential to become a positive leader
within their communities.

Girls Education and Gender Equity
Girls education is both a key and a serious case
to reaching other development objectives.
Providing girls with an education helps break the
cycle of poverty educated women are less likely
to marry early and against their will less
likely to die in childbirth more likely to have
healthy babies and are more likely to send their
children to school.   When all children have
access to a quality education rooted in human
rights and gender equality, it creates a ripple
effect of opportunity that influences generations
to come.

Education Reduces the Spread of Diseases

• The spread of disease in developing countries is
  often increased by the lack of public knowledge
  about how it is transmitted. In 2014 and 2015,
  youth groups in West Africa helped spread the
  word about prevention of the Ebola virus,
  particularly the need to avoid traditional burial
  practices that spread the deadly disease.
  Education keeps healthier in many ways.

Education Improves Health

• Knowledge is key to good health because women
  need to be able to read about prenatal vitamins
  and other health information during their
  pregnancies. This, in turn, reduces the rates of
  motherly death, and improves childrens health,
  too. The ability to read also is important in
  educating communities about clean water and
  sanitation, particularly if families need to use
  filters or boil water before drinking it to avoid
  waterborne illnesses and be aware of emergency
  notices about the Zika virus, Ebola or HIV.
  Reading keeps people healthier in various ways.

Education Improves Food Consuming and Reduces
Malnutrition

• When people/children become educated, they learn
  about agriculture and farming techniques.  They
  gain the ability to grow and maintain healthy
  crops, which provide vegetables for meals and
  additional income. Families also learn what
  nutrients their children need for healthy
  development, as well as foods pregnant women need
  to eat to help their babies health and growth.

The Importance of Education in Developing
Countries

• Education can be the catalyst needed to pull
  families and communities out of the cycle of
  poverty. Knowledge gives children the power to
  dream of a better future and the confidence
  needed to pursue a full education, which in turn
  will help generations to come.
• Education also makes a significant difference for
  adults, particularly when it applies to everyday
  life, consuming healthy food, health care and
  gender equity. When adults learn, they become
  role models to their children.
