Edge of Seven 2012 Annual Report

Page 7

OUR VISION At Edge of Seven, we believe that educating and empowering girls and women in the developing world is not only the right thing to do, it’s also the best way to alleviate global poverty and improve the health and well-being of each and every person on the planet. Our Community Development projects aim to do just this by giving more girls and women access to education, health, and economic opportunities.

OUR PROGRAMS We also believe that each of us can play an important role in contributing to the empowerment of girls and women worldwide. By fusing international travel with service, we create unique volunteer opportunities that lead to development on both a personal and global level. The adventures we offer are life-changing, and our volunteers push their personal limits in order to improve the lives of girls in the developing world.

Community Development Program Provides funding and technical support to various infrastructure projects, such as schools, vocational training centers, health centers, dormitories, and community water supplies, which create access to empowerment for girls and women.
