How do you want to change the world?
These are big challenges that won’t be solved with quick fixes; however, the Somali Women’s Scholarship Fund is making significant strides in promoting gender equality, expanding education opportunities and countering terrorism.
Empower women!By funding the college education of Somali women, we are helping to bridge gender inequality and challenge cultural norms that consistently devalue women. Our goal is to assist the women in realizing their potential, and support the establishment of a society that benefits from ALL citizens.
Education=a better life!
Education is the most direct way to eradicate poverty and hunger, to combat AIDs and other diseases, and to decrease child mortality. It also prepares future leaders to be creative and resolute in addressing tomorrow’s issues.
Secure our world!
Since 1991 Somalia has been in civil war without an effective government. According to Former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Somalia has become a fertile haven for terrorist activity. By creating a more informed society, we are inspiring young people to create a more stable government that combats looting, lawlessness and extremism.
