Educate girls and fight poverty in Kenya

Women's Global Education Project works together with girls, women, their families and communities to enrich girls' knowledge, confidence, leadership, and inspire a love of learning, so girls are better able to make their own life decisions and lead healthier, happier lives.

We provide comprehensive school scholarships and mentoring to girls, reproductive health workshops, and after-school clubs. We host community outreach and mobilization activities to better educate parents, boys, and community members on the importance of girls’ education.

Read about how Magdalena was inspired by her sister, Purity’s, journey with the Women's Global Education Project. These sisters are from Tharaka-Nithi county, Kenya, and have big dreams for their future:

Purity is a high school student and WGEP scholar who dreams of becoming a lawyer so that she can fight for the rights of poor people in her community, inspired by her experiences dealing with family land disputes.

Magdalena, a 3rd grader, recently joined Purity at a back-to-school meeting for WGEP scholars. Magdalena dreams of following in her sister's footsteps as a WGEP scholar so that she can one day become a doctor! She is determined to be a doctor because of her mother’s health complications. Purity's scholarship motivates Magdalenda to work hard so that she can finish primary school, go on to secondary school, and pursue her dreams!  

Thank you for supporting the dreams of girls like Purity and Magdalena.
