Our mission is to connect women of the world and provide an
opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Bridges Between.org seeks to create bridges between women and education. We will focus on literacy classes and the installation of computer labs. Our work has begun in Cchulemu, a rural Sherpa village in Nepal. We plan to expand and reach thousands of women in the Himalaya.
Many non-profit organizations focus on education for children, especially girls. Women, who are past school age, have unfortunately been overlooked. Bridges Between believes that women, given basic literacy and computer skills, will successfully build their own bridges between education and opportunity.
Visitors trekking in Nepal are witness to the high level of functional sustainability and community, which are the hallmarks of daily life in a Sherpa village. Women living in rural villages have a great deal to teach and share, as do the women living in more modern environments. Building bridges to connect women of the world will open channels of communication, and will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas, with the potential to benefit a great many women and families. |
