OUR STUDENTS They are the reason we are here, The reason we do what we do. They are the future of Africa. Africa's Tomorrow. |
We currently have ten students in school. TEN!
Amazing, ambitious, spirited, and hopeful young women,
representing eight different African countries.

"Men within the tribe believe that women should not have access to an education, should marry early, and believe in female genital mutilation. Many people conform to these norms, in fear that they will be shunned by the tribe."

"Malaria is currently the largest killer of people in Uganda. I wish to help solve many of the health challenges we face, to work towards reducing mortality rates, educate the public about HIV/AIDS, malaria, cholera, typhoid, and the importance of immunization."

"Many Basotho lack education and hence are not able to develop real business ideas. This gives foreigners the opportunity to take over what belongs to us. I want the Basotho people to be able to create their own solutions. The only way they can do that is through education."

"As a girl, fighting for higher education, I understand that women are especially impacted. As a result, many girls cannot pursue their dreams, which continues the slow progress on Africa. I would like to represent the generation of African girls who are exceptions to this."

These amazing young women have already overcome huge obstacles to get where they are today, but they are not finished. They all have big goals for the future - first college, then the world.
The students need our encouragement and support to successfully navigate the journey through college, which can often feel overwhelming even to domestic students. Your support is critical in assisting these incredible young women as they move through this challenging process. Please make a donation today to make sure they are able to reach their fullest potential. You can donate to a specific student above, or to the general fund to the right. It's easy to make a difference! Give these students the opportunity they deserve, and a chance to make a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities!
