Help support the Akilah Impact and make a contribution to the Akilah Scholarship Fund

What is the Akilah Impact?

The Akilah Impact is a phenomenon we have witnessed among Akilah students over the past three years, extending far beyond the parameters of our campus—it is the personal impact these young women experience as they increase their confidence and expand their knowledge through education. It is the impact that students have when they bring home paychecks from their first jobs and can lift their families from poverty. It is the impact that students have on the elderly and orphans through their Social Change Projects. It is the impact on their communities when students run for local government. And finally, it is the impact on Rwanda as they launch careers and businesses that will create more jobs and inspire economic prosperity for the country.

We are committed to replicating our model of education around the region so that more young women create this impact while gaining the skills to become leaders and entrepreneurs in their communities. However, it is clear that our work has only just begun and we need your help.

Contribute to the Akilah Scholarship Fund and make an investment not only in the life of a young woman but in the Akilah Impact, which will continue to transform lives and communities across East Africa.

***All donors who make a gift to the Scholarship Fund of $3,000 or more will have the opportunity to receive a student profile and be connected to an Akilah student.***
