These young women have overcome enormous
obstacles to achieve their education.

For many, it is poverty or an abusive caretaker; others have been caught in tribal wars and forced to become refugees in their own country. These young women have confronted long-standing cultural bias including, the belief that girls are not entitled to an education, and cultural practices such as child marriage and Female Genital Mutilation.

GLOW Foundation offers these young women an opportunity to rise above the extreme difficulties and receive a higher education that enables them to achieve what once might have been considered unattainable dreams.
