Hi all. My name's Brent and I'm doing a project on equity in education. I decided to do my topic on the Muslim community, particularly Muslim women.

My project idea was this: In northern India, there seems to be a bad situation for Muslim women when it comes to education. 85% of Muslim women in northern India are illiterate and are too poor to afford a decent education for themselves or their children.

With that in mind, my idea was to construct schools in northern India that would help to educate middle school-aged girls (ages 10-14) who greatly desire an education. Expert teacher's would be supplied to these schools in order to teach girls how to read, write, and also educate them on other subjects such as the Muslim religion.
