Bright Minds
Empowering the next generation of women leaders
Sponsor a girl to attend our Girls Boarding School and change her life trajectory from a young bride to an empowered young woman with life choices
We still need to sponsor 10 girls to be able to open our beautiful Girls Boarding School in Fall 2023. Contact Gina at regina@brightmindsafrica.org to sponsor a student. This is an amazing opportunity to provide an out-of-school girl with a competitive education, ongoing healthcare, three nutritious meals a day, extracurricular activities, and leadership opportunities. Sponsors will receive photos and updates of their sponsored student's academic journey. Check out the film that Bright Minds Assistant Director Salim made showing the school construction.
Transforming the world, one girl at a time
The longer a girl is able to stay in school, the later she tends to get married, the healthier her children, and the more economically stable her community becomes. What if every family with means sponsored the education of a girl without means? Image the world we could live in...
