Looking for innovative ways to support and improve the education of a female child in South Africa and ultimately in Africa. Provide access to quality education and access to post secondary educational institutions in fields where there is a shortage of skills and women. Most importantly motivate young women to strive higher and believe in themselves despite the difficult backgrounds they may come from (i.e. extreme levels of poverty; parents with no post secondary education; families affected by HIV/AIDS; teenage pregnancies and various other social issues).
Schools in South African townships and rural areas
1) More females from poverty-stricken areas gaining entrance to the best Universities in South Africa.
2) Choosing competitive fields of studies where there are less women, mostly in the fields of Maths, Science and Accounting.
3) Becoming leaders that will make an impact to poverty stricken areas in South Africa.
