About Your Host
Blessed founder Daraja Academy. Daraja is changing the world by educating and empowering girls of material poverty that wouldn't have moved on to High School. Our students and alumni are courageous change makers that view themselves a part of the solution rather than victims of circumstance.
Over 90% of our students who would not have moved from 8th to 9th grade matriculate to college and university, disrupting the cycle of poverty on a generational level. I believe that education should be a right, not a privilege because it is the bridge (daraja in Swahili) to a better life for the individual, their families, community and the world.
Every year Daraja turns away more deserving girls than it can accept, until that changes I will fight to provide every girl possible with the quality education she deserves and needs. JOIN ME!
SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD AND SO SHE DID... AND DID, AND DID, AND DID!!!
