The Kwatekeh Africa Scholarship Program for Young Women
Young women in Liberia are often way behind in schooling. When families cannot afford to send all of their children to school, daughters are usually the ones who are forced to drop out or never enroll at all. Many students drop out over and over again, some get discouraged and end up quitting, and some get pregnant and never return to finish their education.
In September 2019 Kwatekeh began sponsoring 23 young women in various local schools, and one in University - paying for all their necessary schooling expenses in an effort to keep them in school.
This is a life-changing program that has already given great hope to the students, who for the first time, can see a path forward for their lives.
