Angaza: Swahili word for light up
Angaza intervenes at significant and potentially catalytic transition periods for girls and young women - primary to secondary school, secondary to tertiary education, professional career, and young adulthood- by facilitating their access to quality education and lifelong learning opportunities. The program awards comprehensive multi-year high school scholarships to girls and young women from Kenya’s rural and low-income regions with a focus on Arid and Semi-Arid counties. Angaza additionally creates platforms for recent high school graduates and program alumnae to access networks and platforms, giving them a competitive edge to acquire post-high school scholarships and personal development opportunities across the world.
