grant writing, communication and
analytical skills will be developed.
Educational projects often focus
on issues facing teachers and
facilities, but ignore the driving role
of students and their motivation
and efforts. Such initiatives would
be essential to improve the status
of girls’ education.

LAUNCHING SOON
THE DIINSIDER WEBSITE
Recently, Diinsider signed a
Memorandum of Understanding
with Dare & Dream, an online/
offline consulting platform working
with rural girls from low income
families in Cambodia. Their aims
are to empower girls to pursue
higher education, to inspire them
to chase their dreams, and to build
girls’ networks platform to help
them go into further education.
While the online platform
provides girls convenience in
communicating with their mentors
via email, Facebook and Skype,
the offline platform allows them to
directly reach out for face-to-face
consultation. We will be working
together with Dare & Dream to
overcome their technological
difficulties, insufficiency of
human capital, and their financing
challenges.
These are just a few examples
of how young people and social
entrepreneurs take actions to
improve girls’ education. In fact,
all of them are small or startup
initiatives and they have faced
enormous challenges in growing
their impacts. Most of the time,
impactful innovations come from
small initiatives and changes
happen when thousands and
thousands of grassroots players
work toward the same goal
which in this case, is to improve
education equality for girls in low-
income communities.
This perfectly represents the
vision of CHANGE Magazine.
We are dedicated to making
real changes happen in girls’
education alongside thousands
and thousands of grassroots
changemakers.
A place where Changemakers and Investors can connect and
collaborate in changing the world.
