I remember reading a short article in Ms. Magazine (or maybe a short piece of text off-set on one page) about an organization that donated money to a particular elementary/secondary school for girls in Africa (unfortunately, I don't remember the country). All the money raised went directly to pay for the tuition of the students. The more money they raised, the more scholarships they could give out. I also don't remember what year I read this - it could have been as far back as 1999. The magazine gave the contact information for this organization (or possibly it was the school itself?) in the hopes that people would contribute money. I seem to remember something like $50 would pay for an entire year of schooling for one girl.
