Foundation
Providing sponsorship to women and girls in developing countries to access an education.
Educating Women and Girls around the World
The Esther Education Foundation provide scholarships for women and girls in low-income (developing) countries, who face gender-related discrimination, to enable them access to education.
Whilst addressing gender inequity in education is a multi-faceted issue, one sure way of making a direct impact is through providing scholarships to women and girls in regions where gender-related issues otherwise inhibit access. Esther Education Foundation targets such locations through its focus on low income countries, where gender is significant in determining life outcomes.
We ask for your help to contribute to this cause and assist other young women and girls to achieve their educational aspirations.

From Secondary School to a University Degree

overcoming adversity
The Esther Education Foundation is named in honour of Esther, a young girl in the Solomon Islands who faced significant adversity in accessing an education because of her gender.
Through incredible courage and perseverance, Esther overcame this adversity, and with the support of a number of scholarships, she was able to complete her secondary education and a Diploma in Teaching. Esther is now a passionate and successful teacher, and a leader in her community. Esther’s story is one of inspiration for other women and girls who face gender-related adversity.
It is well established that education is fundamental to breaking the poverty cycle and ending oppression. The Esther Education Foundation aims to contribute to this agenda by raising funds to provide scholarships for women and girls in low-income (developing) countries who face gender-related discrimination to enable them access to education.
