We believe that education (especially that of females) is the key to development and the alleviation of global social issues. With this as our foundation, we strive to:• Provide opportunities and access to higher education in the U.S. to rural African females• Promote development from within African communities by educating and empowering locals so they can be leaders• Expand female's roles and increase opportunities available to females within African communities • Foster cultural exchange, interaction, and tolerance through exposure to other people and practices • Focus first on the individual, which then affects and advances the family, which leads to improvements for entire communities, ultimately impacting and bettering the world
