Education

Girls' access to quality education, so that every girl can stay in school, learn well and choose her future with confidence.

Why education comes first

Education is the foundation for everything else we do. A girl who stays in school and learns well has more choices about her career, her health and her family.

Yet many girls face barriers to learning: school fees, missing uniforms and books, household responsibilities, or simply never being told that further study is worth it.

Our Education pillar works to remove those barriers, one girl at a time.

What we do

Scholarships and school fees

Paying school fees for girls at risk of dropping out, so that cost is never the reason a girl leaves school.

School kit drives

Collecting and distributing uniforms, bags, books, stationery and sanitary supplies so girls arrive ready to learn.
