Transforming Education and Empowering Communities.

Our Story

We met through the opportunity afforded us by accessible education and we want to do our part to ensure that others can have similar opportunities. We are a group of MBA alumni with vastly different backgrounds who have joined forces to see if we together can do some good. We want to provide access to basic education through non-traditional means, empower underprivileged girl students, and work towards gender parity in education.

Our Mission

We believe that empowering communities, particularly young at-risk girls, goes hand in hand with access to education. However, the traditional approach to education is not always possible and practical for every underprivileged girl. Our mission is therefore to supplement traditional education using technology, introducing a powerful means to self-reliance, financial independence, and life-long learning, and thus build a better future.

High quality digital courses that produces favourable outcomes.

We believe that access to quality education is a necessary long-term investment in the fight against poverty, and that equal access to education will serve to further empower young girls.

Our comprehensive suite of life skills and vocational courses, targeted at young girls, aims to increase their chances of success in life by fostering a mindset of innovation and self-reliance.
