Giving Back: What Makes a True Bourse Jackie Scholar? 🤍
The Bourse Jackie program offers much more than academic support. It provides opportunities, confidence, community, and vision.
But beyond receiving, what do they give back to the program?
Chaya perfectly represents this spirit of giving back. Beyond her personal commitments, she remains constantly available to support, guide, and contribute to the growth of the program and its scholars.
A true example of leadership, commitment, and solidarity. Bourse Jackie thanks you Chaya !

Bourse Jackie Scholarship Competition Awareness Campaign 📣
The awareness and information campaign for the Bourse Jackie Scholarship Competition, 8th Edition, is officially underway!
Through information sessions organized in high schools and within communities, we are engaging with young girls to present the opportunities offered by the Bourse Jackie program and encourage them to prepare for their future after high school graduation.
Informing, inspiring, and empowering the next generation of ambitious young women.

The Bourse Jackie Annual Meeting brings our scholars together in a relaxed and friendly setting 🤍
A moment to reconnect, share updates, welcome new members, and simply enjoy being part of a strong and supportive community.
Because beyond the program, Bourse Jackie is a family.

After some time, our scholars finally had the opportunity to meet again with Barry Hoffner in Bamako ✨
A special moment to reconnect, exchange, share experiences, and strengthen the bond within the Bourse Jackie community.

We proudly mark the closure of the first edition of Bamako Boost — Bourse Jackie 🎉
A journey filled with learning, exchanges, leadership sessions, and meaningful connections.
This first edition has been a true success, empowering young women and strengthening their skills and confidence.

📣 This year, the WAWS Final will take place in Bamako!
Join us this Saturday, April 11 at 8:00 AM at the CICB for this important moment.
A unique opportunity to celebrate talent, ambition, and the next generation of young leaders.
Don’t miss it!

Belonging to the World by Barry Hoffner, founder of Caravan to Class ✨

Following its recent release, Belonging to the World has already marked a successful launch.

The book brought together nearly 300 participants during its launch event and reached major milestones, becoming a #1 New Release and a #2 Best Seller on Amazon during its release week — a true “moment in the sun.”

Beyond these achievements, the book carries a powerful purpose. It shares a journey of impact, vision, and deep human connection.

Most importantly, all proceeds will support Bourse Jackie programs, continuing to transform the lives of young girls across West Africa.👏
