We may be moving, but we know where our roots are.

Seventeen years ago, Global Village Project began as a simple idea: that refugee girls deserved a school designed just for them. But an idea, like a seed, needs somewhere to be planted. Decatur Presbyterian Church opened their doors and invited us to plant it right here, on the second floor. It found fertile soil. For 17 years, hundreds of girls from all over the world climbed those stairs. In these classrooms they learned English, math, science, and art. They also learned that they are welcome, that they belong, and that they are part of a powerful community. As we’re settling into our new school home, the goodbye to DPC was a bittersweet one. We will miss the sound of the girls in the hallways, the familiar walk down Church Street, and the neighbors who welcomed us every single day for nearly two decades. Thank you, Decatur Presbyterian Church, for giving our village its first home. 🤍 #ItTakesAVillage #DecaturGA #GirlsEducation
