The Soroptimist Members' Education Trust

It is an educational project for young children of secondary school age on the Cape Verdean Island of Sao Vicente. Education is free only until age 14, so many able children have to leave school as their parents are unable to meet the costs for them to stay on. The trust raises money to enable children to continue education. Currently 16 students are being supported.
