Talent is universal
Opportunity is not
Where talent meets opportunity, we find Dreamers, Students, Entrepreneurs, Doctors, Teachers, and Leaders.
But when a young woman stops school to work two jobs, or when a girl’s family can’t afford transportation or housing, talent is wasted because opportunity is denied.
Make opportunity
as universal
as talent
U-GO exists to fund higher education scholarships for talented young women in low-income countries.
Because when you educate a woman, you transform a community—and change the world.

Where we work
Where gender gaps in education are the largest, the potential for impact is greatest.
U-GO works with established partners to deliver financial scholarships and to support students through the duration of their university education.
Educating women at scale improves the lives of their families, communities and positively impacts future GDP for the entire country.
