In many societies in Africa, it is believed that education is a venture that primarily should be sought by men. It is believed that the value of a woman lies in her capacity to cater for the chores in the household and no more than that.
African Girls Hope Foundation seeks to eradicate this ideology by empowering the African Girl and equipping her with the tools to create for herself a bright future . . .
