THE ASHERAH FOUNDATION
Second Chance Scholarships for Women around the World
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
The problem: women need access to higher education opportunities around the world. Financial and other supports are not sufficient to meet the needs of these women. These women, their families, and their communities suffer as a result. When these women obtain higher levels of education, they, their families, and their communities benefit economically, and via improved health and social outcomes.
