SHE-CAN
SHE-CAN (Supporting Her Education Changes A Nation) is a San Francisco Bay Area based non-profit organization that builds global women's leadership through education, mentoring, and leadership training. To date, they have helped 103 low-income young women from post-conflict countries win over $27 million in scholarships to top U.S. colleges.
Raising a global generation of capable and driven female leaders is critical to systemic change. That’s why SHE-CAN seeks out smart, ambitious, young women leaders in Rwanda, Cambodia, Liberia, and Guatemala and connects them with scholarships to top U.S. colleges like Georgetown, Dartmouth, and Wellesley. Each scholar participates in annual leadership training and is matched with a 5-6 person mentor team to guide her professionally, academically, and emotionally. After graduating, she returns home as a leader poised to change her country and the world.
