Goal

Promote attitudes and behaviors for our students to succeed in a global marketplace; spark the internal motivation to learn.

What we do

DIL schools provide students with opportunities to connect to others and to the outside world, inspiring in them a desire to reach higher and change their lives for the better.

Activities

1. DIL awards Scholarships to its graduates who want to continue their education

2. DIL’s Vocational Training Center (VTEC) offers marketable skills

   Students learn skills such as computer training, sewing, knitting, embroidery and candle-making. Program participants are earning a living, increasing their families’ income and empowering themselves.

Impact

1. In 2011, DIL provided 381 scholarships to graduates pursuing higher levels of education.
2. In 2011, 146 students earned vocational certificates from VTEC.
3. DIL is working to capture the percentage of students who choose to pursue higher levels of education after completing their studies at DIL schools. A sample in one of DIL’s most remote areas suggests that about 80% of students are continuing their education beyond DIL schools and that the majority of these graduates are girls.
