The Letter Project is an idea that I've had for as long as I could remember. Having ​the opportunity for me to carry out this dream has been one miracle after another and I could not be happier regarding how successful it has been. 

 

My name is Katie and I'm a grade 11 student, I started this charity as a part of a student initiated school project when I first entered 9th grade and it's been amazing watching it grow and extended to communities across the world. Education is a keystone goal in ensuring that together we strive towards a world where all individuals have an equal opportunity at life and are given the chances to achieve their goals. Education means illiteracy rates will drop, it means better children grow up with better job opportunities that stray from a unreliable agriculture based industry. It means young girls will be protected and safe from sexual abuse, and safe from HIV/AIDS. It means sanitation and healthcare will improve as more will be able to afford such basic human rights. Woman will have a higher status in communities, child mortality rates will drop with greater awareness and natal/post natal services becoming accessible. Together, we hope that along with your help we will work towards such a future. Since I've learnt about this issue in Geography class, I've been wanting to take my knowledge out of the class room and create a positive change to those affect.
