Caravan to Class

Bintou is another infectiously enthusiastic "Bourse Jackie' recipient whose university education Caravan to Class is funding.

Education of young girls creates generational change!

Just incredible to be able to spend the day with these "Bourse Jackie" recipients who are receiving full university scholarships from Caravan to Class. So smart, engaging, hard-working, inquisitive. Even with the our support, the hardships for particularly women seeking education demonstrates a level of resilience that we certainly can learn from. It is such a privilege to support their quest for an education and a better life! They bring honor to my wife's name!

Please find the link below of the highly recommended read from the Gates Foundation on global inequality. The report even singles out the Sahel region of Africa (where Caravan to Class operates) saying "This narrow band near the top of Africa is the Sahel, where a young girl likely can't read or write....She deserves a better life. And we believe she can have one, as long as the world understands the many challenges she faces and gets to work on addressing them." Thanks to the supporters of Caravan to Class, we will start our eleventh year of addressing the life-sustanting issue of education in the Sahel, specifically in Timbuktu, Mali. https://www.gatesfoundation.org/goalke/report/2019-report/
