It was great being part of the EducationUSA college fair. Key topics discussed were what it takes to study in USA and the various scholarship opportunities.

Thank you EducationUSA for this wonderful opportunity and for making quality higher education accessible for students in Africa.

What a wonderful time we had at the IC3 Regional Forum held at Aghan Khan.

Solomon our co-founder co-presented with Misco and they shared about incorporating career counseling into school curriculum. It was great to meet and hear from other fellow visionaries who are working to see that quality higher education is accessible to all.

Thank you HALI Access Network, IC3 for this wonderful opportunity to build the capacity of college counsellors in Uganda.

It was great hosting the College Counselors Workshop!

We got to hear from experts like Misco Mungai as they shared insights on key topics around college counselling. Some key learnings were navigating international university application process and understanding the process and opportunities available in regards to financial aid.

We believe that by empowering college counsellors we can make quality higher education more accessible to all students in Africa.

Last week, we had a wonderful time getting to meet HALI members in Kenya.

Interacting with like minded individuals always propels us to envision the limitless potential we have as well as forging better ways of bringing about positive impact on the communities we serve.

We were honoured to be part of the 8th Annual HALI Access Network Indaba that was held in Zambia. We want to express our deepest gratitude to HALI Access Network for organizing this incredible event. In addition to that, we thank all the wonderful individuals and organizations who attended for their commitment to changing the narrative around access to quality higher education. It was indeed an eye-opening and empowering experience for us.

One key takeaway was the importance of community engagement and mentorship in helping high-achieving yet financially restricted students come up with good applications. The sessions shed light on mentoring programs and support networks that truly make a difference. Additionally, learning about financial aid and scholarships equipped us with the knowledge to pursue assistance confidently. We are truly inspired and determined to contribute to the cause of equal access to higher education.

Once again, thank you HALI Access Network for this wonderful opportunity to learn from like-minded individuals. Together, we're creating a future where every student has access to the educational opportunities they deserve.
