Equal access to science education is essential for girls living in poverty in Brazil so they can compete for good jobs, build lasting careers and poverty free lives. We urgently seek funding to buy new physics textbooks to support the science education of the poorest girls at our school in Brazil.

Beneficiaries
Our Sisters of Mary girls' school in Brasilia provides care & secondary education for young girls aged 11 upwards from extreme poverty throughout Brazil. With our quality STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) education girls can find jobs which pay well and provide a good living for themselves and for their poor families. Our schools teach accredited physics but our books are insufficient & out-dated. We desperately need more new books to support girls with their learning.
Our teachers have secured a discount on the purchase of 390 new physics text books for grades 10, 11 & 12 girls (ages 15-18) so that they may have one each to follow the updated science curriculum. With new books, their learning and knowledge will improve and they will pass their exams and leave school qualified for good local science and technology jobs which help them realise their potential, earn a good salary and leave their lives of poverty permanently.
