“What I believe is that through the paintings you can impart knowledge on people. There are people who are illiterate, who don’t know how to read and write, especially in Liberia here, and through seeing the paintings they will get to know that the paintings are imparting a certain knowledge in them, and they will understand that.”
-Kadiatou, Youth Participant, Harper, Liberia
“It is since I have been part of this program that I feel so listened to and considered.”

Support Girls’ Education
By age 10, 30% of girls in Goma are already out of school. School scholarship is part of our Girl Awakening Program because education is a life changing opportunity.
With every year of school, a girl’s income earning capacity increases by 5-15%, affording her more opportunities and a better life.
And school isn’t just about getting an education.
Girls who are in school are at lower risk for sexual and gender based violence and child marriage.
They experience less isolation and more access to resources, which improve their mental and physical health outcomes.
Scholarship funds are supporting: (1) Tuition fees: registration, exam fees, and (2) School supplies: including uniforms, backpacks, notebooks.
The total average cost per girl for 1 year is: $121 per student.
