The Education Formula
Multiply Her Effect Through Girls Education
When a girl receives an education, it’s not just her that’s impacted. She positively impacts her family, her community, and even her entire country.
But around the world, approximately 130 million girls are not currently in school, and 15 million of them probably won’t even set foot in a classroom in their lifetime.
We need Canadian Christian Schools to help us change this.
Together with our partners in Zambia and the Dominican Republic, we want to build on-campus dorms and increase health education programs for girls.
WHAT WILL THIS PROJECT ACCOMPLISH?
ON-CAMPUS DORMS
On-campus dorms at four schools in Zambia will be outfitted with new beds, linens, and mattresses – ensuring girls have a clean, safe place to stay while they’re focussing on education.
HEALTH PROGRAMS
More girls at Pena de Horeb school in the Dominican Republic will be able to access health education programs at school – teaching them to take care of themselves and other girls like them.
EQUALITY FOR ALL
Equal access to a quality, Christ-centred education means both boys and girls can impact their communities for generations to come.

“I have seen the hand of God working in my life through education. I don't know how to thank CCAP for helping me with school fees, only God knows how to bless them for me. I am confident I will complete my secondary education with their help. To me, this will be my greatest achievement because I never imagined I would reach this far. My greatest responsibility as at now is to study hard so that I complete my secondary school education and see what the future holds for me.”
– Martha, student, Zambia
“Over the years, girls’ rights have been stepped on in Africa, and specifically in Zambia. So, we believe that when a girl is educated she will be able to stand up for her rights. And these same girls, when they are educated, then they will be role models for other girls to be educated and they will be able to stand up for their rights. Girls here in Zambia have been vulnerable and they’ve been looked down upon to be more inferior to men. But when they are educated, they will know their rights and they will be able to stand up for their rights.” –
– Collins, educational leader, Zambia
“Canadian students should be aware that we live in a world where, in certain parts of the world, girls are not seen as equal. This means they have less opportunities to access good quality education that would equip them to actually be successful. We need to give girls a choice: that would be my message to students in Canada. We need invest more in girls’ education and create opportunities for them to pursue their dreams in life.”
– Mario, educational leader, Dominican Republic
