Educating women is key to achieving prosperity in any society. To promote our local communities here in the U.S and a better Africa, Kechie’s Project is dedicated to providing educational opportunities to girls.

Empower a girl with knowledge, and she will help her family and her community.

Goals

Education
From High School to Higher Education

We aim to fund each student’s high school tuition and personal costs. Many students come from improvised backgrounds where personal needs such as food, water and school supplies keep them out of the classroom. Kechie’s Project will cover school-related costs that a family cannot afford to ensure that each girl can attend school regularly. Upon graduating from high school there will be an opportunity to receive a vocational college or university scholarship.

Mentorship
Academic, Social and Personal Guidance

Each girl will have a personal mentor for guidance and support to succeed in school and to handle social and personal issues including relationship, family, and self-esteem matters. Mentors will act as a resource for their mentees in every aspect of their lives from helping with academic needs to providing feminine hygiene products.

Leadership
Kechie’s Leadership Program

Our program provides career training to prepare girls for leadership positions in their communities and beyond. Our upcoming programs include:

Entrepreneurship in Fashion

American and African Cultural Exchange

Current Projects
The Nigerian Initiative

Kechie’s Project has created a program based in Nigeria to provide girls in rural areas with educational and personal development opportunities to become leaders. We offer high school scholarships and leadership training to the most promising students who have demonstrated a desire and ability to become contribute to their communities in the future.

Kechie's Project fiscal sponsor is the Earth Rights Institute while we are in the process of obtaining our 501(c)3.
