Society for Promotion of Female Education in the East

The Society for Promotion of Female Education in the East was a British Protestant Christian missionary society that was involved in sending workers to China during the late Qing dynasty and to other Asian countries.

[1] The society sent Sophia Cooke to Singapore to lead the "Chinese Girls' School" there in 1853.

The society paid Cooke's salary but she had to rely on fund raising to keep the school viable.

[2] In Nazareth is the English Hospital, a well-built structure; outside the town, halfway up the summit of the range, a very large orphanage was being built in 1875 for the Society for Promotion of Female Education in the East.

[4] Records of the Society for Promoting Female Education in the East are held at the Cadbury Research Library at the University of Birmingham.
