The holiday season is a time of celebration. At Yours Humanly, we celebrate our generous donors, supporters, and volunteers who aid us in our mission to empower the world’s most vulnerable children through access to education. We have made great strides supporting our local communities as well as children in five countries. We have so far served over 1,600 children and we are on-target for incremental growth in the year ahead.

When we raise our glass to the new year, we will reflect on the children we’ve helped and strive to empower more children in 2017. We wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season!

Today we join hands with girls around the world to celebrate International Day of the Girl Child. At Yours Humanly, gender equality is close to our heart, and we strongly believe that girls around the world deserve an equal chance toward a brighter future through access to education. That’s why we have granted K-12 scholarships to girls in Cambodia, India and Nepal.

We congratulate all girls who have shaped their futures through education, and we recognize those who are just embarking on their educational journey.

We would like to thank all the sponsors for their sponsorship of the 2016 Break a Sweat for Education 5K Run. Their generosity takes us one step closer to providing much needed K-12 scholarships for children around the world.

Yours Humanly recently launched an online fundraising campaign to raise $15,000 to equip an underserved school in Cambodia with electricity, computers, Internet, and instructors in computer science and English.

Moreover, we plan to improve the students’ living and learning conditions by providing what others might take for granted: clean, cool water and functioning fans.
