With your support, HSSV will be able to provide spay and neuter surgeries for homeless cats at a minimal cost to caring community members. If we spay and neuter 4,800 cats per year, we will see a decline in the number of homeless cats by roughly 10% each year in our community - and more importantly, we will see a decrease in the number of cats and kittens euthanized at public shelters!

Categories: Children and Youth Community Education International . Room to Read’s Room to Grow Girls' Scholarship Program has an immediate and direct impact on the lives of thousands of girls in the developing world. An education provides security and support to girls who often grow up in very uncertain environments and empowers them to make informed life decisions. A solid education beginning in the early years is the key ingredient for improved status for women, which provides a ripple of positive effects throughout society. Through this project, you can fund girls' scholarships in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam. These long-term, holistic scholarships make it possible for a girl, who would otherwise not have access to an education, to attend school through the secondary level. You can fund a one year girl's scholarship for $250 or a ten year girl's scholarship for $2,500.
