About

For years, we have been transforming the lives of bright underprivileged girls in Ghana. Now, it is time to accelerate our impact – to graduate 50 young women in the next five years, equipping them with the education, mentorship, and opportunities they need to lead, innovate, and uplift their communities. Accelerate Her Dreams is more than a campaign; it is a movement to break financial barriers and drive lasting change for gender equality in Ghana.

Across the country, countless talented young women dream of pursuing higher education, yet financial hardship forces them to abandon their aspirations. Many of these girls have the potential to become doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders, but without access to university education, their dreams remain just that—dreams. We refuse to let potential go to waste.

In line with the International Women’s Day 2025 theme of Accelerating Action for Gender Equality, the Akua Kuenyehia Foundation (AKF) is launching a bold initiative to raise 1 million cedis to fund university scholarships for 50 deserving young women over the next five years. This campaign is not just about financial aid – it is about creating a powerful ripple effect. When a girl graduates, she doesn’t just change her future; she transforms her family, her community, and her country.

With your support, we can turn ambition into achievement. We can accelerate education, accelerate opportunity, and accelerate HER dreams. Every donation, no matter the size, is a step toward a future where no girl is left behind because of financial constraints.

Now is the time to take action. Join us in empowering the next generation of female leaders and changemakers. Together, we can shape a brighter, more equal future – one girl at a time.
