We envision a world in which every girl has access to education. We started our programs in Kenya but our vision is to expand to other African nations in the next decade.

AERC' goal is to serve as a resource center disseminating scholarships, school materials (books, computers), and raising awareness about education. We utilize various tools in our effort to broaden access to quality education.

• Resources: To provide scholarships for girls in high schools.
• Research: To raise awareness about educational issues in Africa.
• Mentoring: To inspire other girls and women to succeed.

AERC is an NGO (non-governmental organization), founded in 2003 in Kenya and in the US. AERC is 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization and contributions to AERC are tax deductable as allowed by law.

The Founding Directors were inspired by their family's pioneering initiative to educate girls, in a culture that did not value girls' education. Even today, girls' education is threatened and that is why we are reaching back to touch others who are not as fortunate to get an education.

The Board of Directors, welcomes you to join our network of Friends of AERC today. Together we can do more to inspire and help educate the less fortunate.

AERC: Changing the world, one girl at at time!

This is what one of our girls had to say about the impact our scholarship have had on her...
