Girls Education International (GEI) is excited to announce the implementation of a new educational project inPakistan. After three long years of stalled efforts due to political chaos in the region, we have finally vetted and are partnering with the Pakistani-based womens’ rights organization, Bedari ( www.bedari.org ). We will support a scholarship model for girls’ education that Bedari developed, to be implemented in the remote village of Laphi.
