The Dariu Foundation grants around 1,500 scholarships every year, and over 50% of the recipients are girls, due to the general bias of parents and society in favor of boys. 12,000 students have been granted our scholarships to date. One of the main requirements to receive a scholarship is that the student’s parents must be part of our microfinance program and vice versa: if their parents apply for a microloan from The Dariu Foundation, they must commit sending their children to school.
