Our scholarship girls continue to thrive. They attend Brightland Academy in southeast Nigeria, Baptist High School in northern Nigeria and Lightway Academy in the capital of Abuja, and Fruitful Vines in southwest Nigeria. We had six scholars graduate in July 2023, and we will welcome six new girls into the program in September.
Last summer, we held our first Leadership Scholarship Summit in Enugu, Nigeria. Led by GEANCO board members and Program Directors Ebele & Nche Onyema, as well as Anuli Ikechukwu, Obinna Okoye and Afam Onyema, 29 of our scholars girls experienced inspiring, informative, and innovative workshops, interactive learning session, team-building exercises, and arts & sports activities. All of our scholars came away feeling like leaders and ready to grow into their best selves.
In partnership with acclaimed author Gregg Hurwitz and International Thriller Writers, we built a beautiful new library for Brightland Academy.
