Gary Church’s mission to educate girls and young women

Thank you for helping Educate a Girl / Change the World reach its sixth year! Your generous support of the EAG mission impacts real people by helping secure a path to independence for many young women around the world. 

 

Your generosity continues to positively impact the lives of many young women.

Please help us achieve these program goals for the coming year: 

  • Raise $10,000 by Feb. 28, 2026 to provide scholarships to 14-18 girls (for previous recipients and new students.)
  • Continue various types of scholarships, including support for tuition, uniforms, supplies and books. 
  • Invest in the future of girls and young women in Cambodia, Kenya and Zimbabwe as well as in the Chicago area.


Gary Church's fundraising goal this year is $10,000, which will allow even more girls to achieve their life dreams.

Please help us fund scholarships for 14 young people.

 

New scholarship recipients will include:

  • Jazariah and a second new recipient: New IGotChu scholarships for Chicago college students
  • Tainara: a full scholarship to Africa University, a United Methodist institution
  • Esther (Uganda), Lorna (Sudan), and three new Cambodian girls who will receive support for school supplies and uniforms, enabling them to stay in school.

 We will continue to support the education of: Angel and Gloria in Kenya, Sarah and Nisa in Cambodia, Aaliyah who attends college in Chicago, and Tiara, a medical student in Nashville.
