To Bring Access to education

To Bring Access to a stronger community
We focus our lens on girls in sub-Saharan Africa, lighting paths through education, empowering them, and helping frame a brighter future.
Why Girls?
Economic Growth: Studies have shown that for every additional year a girl stays in school, her income potential increases by 10% to 20%. When girls stay in school longer, they are more likely to enter the workforce, earn higher wages, and contribute to the economic development of their communities and nations.
Improved Health: Educated girls and their families enjoy better health outcomes. They are more likely to marry later, have fewer children, and make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
Poverty Reduction: Girls' education plays a crucial role in breaking the cycle of poverty. Educated women are better equipped to lift themselves and their families out of poverty through improved employment opportunities and income generation.
Social Development: Educated girls contribute to the social development of their communities by fostering positive social change and promoting social cohesion. They are more likely to engage in community development initiatives, volunteerism, and advocacy for social justice issues.
Education empowers girls to pursue their aspirations, contribute to society, and lead fulfilling lives.
Why sub-Saharan Africa
Primary and some secondary schooling is provided free in most sub-Saharan countries. Yet, there are still costs involved.
Uniforms, books, stationery and other supplies all have to be paid for by parents or families. And when there is not enough to go round, boys are at the front of the line.
Without a uniform, there is no school. Without books, there is no school.
Without sanitary pads, there is no school.
What we do
Our commitment is to support vulnerable girls with leadership potential and academic aspirations to achieve their full potential.
