Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton, Illinois started the Educate a Girl / Change the World mission in the year 2021 to educate girls and young women around the world. 

Thank you for helping Educate a Girl / Change the World reach its sixth year! Your generous support of the EAG mission impacts real people by helping secure a path to independence for many young women around the world. 


Please help us achieve these program goals for the coming year: 

  • Raise $10,000 to provide scholarships to 14-18 girls (for previous recipients and new students.)
  • Continue various types of scholarships, including support for tuition, uniforms, supplies and books. 
  • Invest in the future of girls and young women in Cambodia, Kenya and Zimbabwe as well as in the Chicago area.

You can support EAG by donating funds at garychurch.org/give or sending a check to the Church Office (write EAG in the check memo.)
