Only one in six countries will meet SDG4 and achieve universal access to quality education by 2030, while an annual financing gap of US$97 billion exists for low- and lower-middle-income countries to reach quality education targets.
With developing countries facing a SDG financing chasm, investing in future leaders who can drive sustainable development has never been more urgent. Building the next generation of development leaders requires accessible pathways to advanced education.

I am in need of the scholarship
I am an activist for youth, women and child’s rights who brings over 13 years of experience in mobilizing communities to promote livelihoods, human rights and prevent violence against women, girls and men. I am experienced in building strong working relationships with community members, local institutions, police and civil society partners to take lead in preventing violence against women and girls, Female genital Mutilation (FGM) and youth peacebuilding processes every day. I am keen to mentor youth, men, women and staff of institutions to become activists to challenge factors that perpetuate violence against women because I believe that creating a violence free environment and relationships is every one’s responsibility.
I have hands-on work experience in building resilience among the refugees in emergency contexts and host communities while increasing their access to information, services, and building informal support networks. This is realized by providing case management services to the refugee population through advocating for their rights, creating safe environments, and durable solutions. I am passionate about facilitating training, field processing activities, information management systems, stakeholder engagement, and coordination of service.
With the above background l request for a scholarship to continue my engagements at Global level, national and community.
