Our Mission
The S.H.E. College Fund provides full scholarships for comprehensive post-secondary education to courageous young Kenyan women who have denounced FGM/C and childhood marriage and are committed to becoming educated, empowered and employed changemakers in their community. We believe that education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and oppression, and through our efforts in collaboration with the students we serve, we are creating a future where every young woman has the chance to reach her full potential and contribute to society.
Unlike most scholarship programs, the S.H.E. College Fund allocates scholarships based on passion and vision, regardless of a student’s grades in high school. This is because the young women who make the greatest impact are often those who come from extremely rural backgrounds where support to excel in secondary school is not available to girls. Once accepted in the supportive community of S.H.E. students, their college grades soar.
This approach recognizes the unique challenges faced by girls in Narok County and aims to unlock their untapped potential, making a lasting impact on their lives and on their communities.

Kim Rosen Scholarship Fund
Our global community of donors is supporting young Maasai women, who have said no to FGM and child marriage, to pursue higher education, find good jobs, earn a living, and uplift their families and society. This fund honors the many gifts of Kim Rosen, and is specially designed for donors who want their gift to go directly to supporting scholarships for S.H.E. students.
Joy Milanoi, The First Kim Rosen Scholar, says,“AsIreflect onmyjourney,I’vealways wantedtoachievehigherto inspiremysiblingsandthegirls inmyvillage.Nowmysistersdo nothavetoundergoFGM/Cand areinschool.Becauseofme!”

From Tribe & Fire 2023
From Tribe & Fire 2023 was a heartfelt online celebration supporting the courageous young women of the S.H.E. College Fund. Our country's most beloved women artists generously offered their poetry, prose, and music. As long-time supporters of the Fund, their artistic contributions have been transformative and life-saving, continuously inspiring and uplifting our community.
