How can I “pay it forward?”
Supporting women’s education is an effective way to “pay it forward” so that future generations can make their own way.
At Friends of Guéoul, we imagine a Guéoul, Senegal (population ~11,000) where young women benefit from world-class educational opportunities. In Guéoul, your financial support goes a long way: just $100 will keep a girl in school for a year.
With your dedicated partnership, we can continue to help improve educational outcomes for these young women and their families for generations to come.
