Merit Grant for Young Women's vision of empowering women through education addresses the deplorable educational and social status of women in Pakistan. Without the opportunity provided by MGYW many girls from impoverished families would be prone to child abuse, forced marriage, exploitation as laborers, and beggary. According to our annual reports, MGYW’s strategy is working. MGYW is not only increasing educational opportunities for qualified girls, it is also enhancing the lives of their families.
