The Zawadi Africa Education Fund scholars

The Zawadi Africa Education Fund is a program designed to provide scholarships to academically gifted girls from disadvantaged backgrounds from Africa to pursue higher education in the US. The Zawadi Africa Education Fund is based on the highly successful Kennedy/Mboya Student airlifts of the 1960′s, through a partnership with individuals and institutions with an interest in creating leadership. The fund works to provide opportunities for university education for academically gifted but financially disadvantaged African girls, with the eventual aim of providing a pipeline of women leaders for the Region. more: zawadiafrica.org
