This education fund will supplement the tuition costs of girls and women seeking to finish their secondary schooling and pursue post-secondary education opportunities, preparing them for to contribute to their nation's development. This project will support women's efforts to improve their skills and further their education by supplementing their tuition costs. Recipients will pursue courses that prepare them to play a role in the economic, social, and political development of Sierra Leone.

With education, women can better engage in dialogue and constructive development of the nation, thereby allowing them to play a significant role in bringing peace to their country.
