Bridging the Education Inequality in Africa

Providing the opportunity for brilliant, but indigent Students in Africa to have access to quality education irrespective of socioeconomic limitations.

A report by UNESCO shows that the global gross enrolment (GER) for higher education rose from 19 % in 2000 to 40 % in 2020. However, Africa still lags with a GER below 20 %. Among the many barriers to higher education in Africa is the lack of financial resources for many households, which results in wasted talents and opportunities. The Bridge aims to address this challenge by offering scholarships and mentorship to bright but disadvantaged students who can become skilled and confident leaders for Africa and overcome the cycle of poverty.
