THE BEGINNING
Flora Stationery blossomed from a study abroad trip co-founder, Ashley, took to Kosovo. While there, she met an inspiring young woman who struggled to afford a college education due to means outside of her control. Determined to create a sustainable solution for funding access to higher education for young women in developing countries, Ashley and her twin sister, Victoria founded Flora Stationery. |

WHY KOSOVO?
Kosovo has the highest unemployment rate in all of Europe and holds a female unemployment rate of over 56%
Yet, women with a university degree are over 28 times more likely to be employed than those with a basic education. Kosovo is also the poorest country in the region, with approximately 30% of the population living in poverty and another 10% who live in extreme poverty, living off less than one dollar per day.

EDUCATION AS AN OPPORTUNITY Over 95% of the women who receive a scholarship are within the first generation of female college students in their families.
