About the founder

As a girl child, Florence got a life-changing opportunity of education through a scholarship. She hopes to enable more girls to end the poverty cycle in their communities by offering scholarships to financially unable but self-motivated and willing girls. Florence’s dream is to lift the region out of poverty by empowering girls through skilling.
