Educating Girls of Rural China

Raise money for Educating Girls of Rural China

"Educated women have educated children. Educating women is the fundamental way to lift people out of poverty and build better societies."

- EGRC Founder and President, Ching Tien 

Educating Girls of Rural China (EGRC) was established in Canada in 2005 with the belief that educated women have educated children. To date, EGRC has provided financial sponsorship and emotional support to over 1700 girls and young women from rural regions of Western China, to receive a secondary and post-secondary education. EGRC sponsored students have achieved over 99% graduation rate. 

In rural China gender discrimination is rampant and has deep roots. Even though there has been progress in recent years, many rural girls are still having to quit school in order to support their families. If a girl does not have the resources to attend high school she will usually marry early, often as young as 16.

We invite you to support our work empowering rural young women through education, providing opportunities for their personal and career development, and identifying and training a new generation of women leaders.
