Stitching Up Poverty #5 Education

This series of five podcasts examines the impact of a remarkable project aimed at helping some of the most marginalized people in the world. Women and girls in rural villages in Sindh province in Pakistan. Live is unrelenting for the women in these villages – they are amongst the poorest and most diadvantaged in the world. They face a cycle of poverty and have few opportunities for work and they live in a male dominated culture in which they are traditionally expected to play a subservient role. In this edition we look at the project’s impact on the education of women and girls. The podcast is made up of stories collected from the region.
