This network also shares best practices, coordinates on life skills training, and allows our scholars to build lasting bonds with young women from other countries.

$800 sponsors a young woman for a year of university. Each donation transforms the life of a young woman, her family and her community.

Help us to make opportunity as universal as talent.
