It has been 10 years of WARC!

​​

As we complete this decade of our history, we look back with gratitude to our community of volunteers, students and donors, from Uzbekistan, the US, and beyond.

​

For our anniversary, we would like to support a few of our former students who are interested to continue their education. Our volunteers are launching a mentorship program to help rural teenagers navigate the college application process. We will likewise organize visits with our partnering academic institutions and opportunities for volunteering. However, the cost of education still stands. Getting into university in Uzbekistan is an uphill battle for rural students. Scholarships are distributed according to performance on entrance exams. Tests are very competitive.

​

Many applicants attend 6-month learning centers, costing around $500 per semester. Our students are far from the regional capitals and face a commute upwards of 3 hours. At university, students must also pay for tuition and housing. For this anniversary, we would like to reach out to our community with a fundraiser to support the students.

You can read about our candidates’ individual stories below.

Please consider supporting our students in this important moment of their lives.

​

For each 10 dollars donated, 9 dollars will go to students scholarships and 1 dollar will go to our transport costs to visit their schools over as part of our ongoing filter check-ups and educational projects.Should you have any questions, we will be glad to answer!
