"I am so excited about the BSLA program How incredible to think that for only about $300, you can provide an AIDS widow with seeds, fertilizer, training from an agricultural extension worker, drying cribs and access to markets for 18 months!"

The Ombogo Girls’ Academy is a privately managed national institution. The Academy is an all girl’s boarding school, catering to girls between the ages of 15 and 18. It was created by the late Mrs. Philgona Okundi to improve the girl-child’s status in an area rampant with HIV/AIDS, gender disparities, and inadequate educational opportunities.

Mission Statement

The Academy’s mission is to recognize, recruit, educate and celebrate the immense untapped potential of the rural African girl-child who strives to be the best academically, and to make a difference in their respective communities.

Vision

The project envisions a community school with excellent education facilities that are affordable and within reach for the rural girl-child, who has over the years been denied self-advancement. This vision provides girls with an opportunity to plough their knowledge back into projects or services in their communities.

Objectives

The Academy’s objectives are to offer the best education focusing on the intellect, spiritual, physical and emotional growth of the girl-child; and to create a new vision of the rural girl child, one filled with innovation, proficiency, opportunity and hope.
