Why is this Education Fund important?
Education is the single-most important driver of economic empowerment for individuals and countries. And yet children living in poverty don’t have the freedom to dream of a different life. Higher education in most third world countries is cost-prohibitive.
Who are the beneficiaries of this Fund?
Children living in poverty, orphans, street children and especially young at-risk girls. Scholarships are also offered to all the children in HART’s Child Sponsor Project and those living in foster homes.
Our goal is to annually help hundreds of poor families through this Fund.
How is this project administered?
Working with our network of partnerships throughout Ukraine and Moldova, we have church workers and case-workers who will help identify qualified youth and counsel the family about the fund. These caseworkers’ tasks will be:
(1) to guide and encourage the family through this process;
(2) to assist with paperwork associated with the application forms and appropriate follow-up with each child on an annual basis.
What is the cost of Post-Secondary Education in Ukraine?
VOCATIONAL TRAINING: about US $500-600 per year
UNIVERSITY TUITION: about US $1,000 per year
