In the wise words of Michelle Obama, “An educated girl can lift up her family, her community, and her country.”
Women’s Global Education Project’s is proud to advance educational opportunities for girls and young women in Tharaka, Kenya. We work hand-in-hand with respected local leaders to ensure projects are tailored to, and driven by, the communities that we serve.
Hear about WGEP’s impact directly from our Kenya Project Director, Aniceta K: “Although there is much work still to be done, circumstances are better for women and girls because of WGEP. More girls are in school and are performing well. There has also been a change in attitudes regarding girls’ abilities and potential. Girls dream of becoming pilots, doctors and lawyers, and they are supported because more people now understand that it is one’s dedication and effort that determine their success, rather than their gender.”
Thank you for believing in the transformative power of girl’s education, and for inspiring the next generation of girls to dream big, and to believe in their own potential!
