Sister To School

Sister To School

Education has long been the cornerstone of empowerment at TWWP, and Sisters to School is where that belief takes shape for girls specifically. Launched in 2008, the program ensures that girls from vulnerable and marginalized backgrounds have access to quality education from primary school through secondary, tertiary, and university levels removing the barriers that keep girls out of the classroom.

From 7 Girls to a Movement

Sisters to School started with just seven girls in 2008. It has since grown to reach over 600 girls, opening doors to careers in public service, politics, and the private sector. Many alumni now return to give back mentoring current students and serving as staff, trainers, and volunteers with TWWP itself, creating a ripple effect across their communities.

How It Works

Partial scholarships, not full ones:- Sisters to School believes in shared responsibility. Parents are encouraged to contribute financially, which keeps them invested in their daughters' educational journey. In turn, parents receive quarterly sessions on parenting, resilience, and standing by their daughters.
Mentorship, delivered during school holidays, when girls gather for motivation and encouragement reminded that they are capable of bearing fruit in whatever path they choose.
Hygiene and dignity support, including school uniforms, essential toiletries, and sanitary towels throughout a girl's educational journey.
Recognition that success looks different for every girl not all excel academically, but each one flourishes in her own way, whether in leadership, arts, or other talents.
