A Letter Can Change a Life — Join the PenPal Mentorship Program

What if one handwritten letter could change the trajectory of a girl’s life forever?

At Compass Rose International, we’ve launched something simple, powerful, and profoundly human: the PenPal Mentorship Program — a direct bridge between YOU and a courageous teen girl rising out of a life once defined by limitation. This isn’t charity. It’s a transformation through connection.

 

For just $134/month, you’ll sponsor a girl at our Girls INpowerment Center in Nepal—providing her with food, safe housing, education, and the loving care of our staff. But this is more than just financial support. You become her Mentor, her mirror, her ally in a world that once told her she wasn’t worth being seen.

 

Prefer to share the journey? For $67/month, you can co-sponsor with a friend—splitting the cost while sharing the joy and commitment together

 

And she writes you letters.

 

Quarterly, you’ll receive handwritten letters, photos, and a peek into her world—complete with her short- and long-term goals. You’ll get to watch her English skills blossom, her dreams sharpen, her voice rise. And you’ll have the chance to write back, encourage her goals, and even join a video mentorship call.

 

Let’s be honest. She was never powerless.

But no one ever told her that.

 

Until now.

Why Her? Why You?

These girls come from remote mountain villages where girls are taught to farm, marry young, and disappear into invisibility. Most have only been educated to 3rd grade. Some arrive at our doors rescued from political trafficking rings. All of them carry untapped brilliance.

 

At our INpowerment Center, they are safe. They receive holistic care, trauma-informed education, leadership training, menstrual health workshops, and pathways to university. They learn not just to survive—but to lead.

 

But every girl needs a believer.

That’s where you come in.

Why This Mentorship Works

  • Quarterly handwritten letters (with photos + goals)
  • Optional two-way communication to encourage her journey
  • Optional video mentorship call to meet your mentee face-to-face
  • $134/month covers food, school, housing, safety, staff, and growth
  • Mutual transformation—you guide her, and she reminds you what matters.

Be the Person She Writes To.

 

You don’t need to fly across oceans. You don’t need to have all the answers.

You just need to say yes.

 

Yes, I want to help a girl rise.

Yes, I’ll show up as someone she can count on.

Yes, I believe her life is worth investing in.

 

Because sometimes all it takes is one person to tell her she matters—for her to believe it.

 

And sometimes that person… is you.

 

Become a PenPal Mentor today.

$134/month. 1 girl. A lifetime of impact.

Let’s rewrite her story together—one letter at a time.
