Engage
We identify girls with potential, who have a passion to serve and better their community and are restricted access to public education because of financial hardship.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide scholarships for Gambian girls to be able to access public education thus allowing them the opportunity to educate themselves and apply to after school enhancements programs. Scholarships are awarded to girls who demonstrate potential, financial need and have a commitment to bettering their communities.
