Keeping the door open

For many girls, a bursary is the difference between another year of school and an early exit. We cover the costs that quietly bring an education to an end.

Buying time

What a scholarship really buys is time — time before the big decisions about a girl's life get made for her.

How you can help

Sponsor a girl's school year and help keep her options, and her future, open a little longer.

All causes

For many girls, the end of schooling isn't a choice so much as a default — the quiet result of a tight budget and the pull of an early marriage. A bursary changes the maths of that decision.

By covering the costs that often end a girl's education early, we help keep the door to secondary school — and everything after it — open. What that buys, more than anything, is time: time before the big decisions about her life get made for her.
