Key Information

Our volunteer team of successful Kenyan women travel to our rural schools to coach and mentor the girls in our program. They share their own stories of struggle and success to inspire, motivate and guide the girls so they can fulfil their own potential. These women also act as our Advisory Board in Kenya, providing valuable insights and connections to their world.

There are multiple programs: the high school mentorship program, university mentorship program, and the entrepreneurial training program.
