Program areas at U-Go Initiative

Grants & scholarships: U-Go works with partner organizations in southeast asia, the indian sub-continent, and africa to help ambitious young women attain a university education. We partner with ngos in each local geography to identify, screen, and support scholarship recipients throughout their tertiary education. The vast majority of funds we provide to these ngos are directly passed on to pay for university tuition for scholarship applicants, with a small portion for ngo overhead and other support activities for the scholarship recipients.
General programs: U-Go Initiative's general programs focus on empowering young women in low- and middle-income countries by providing them with educational opportunities and mentorship. The program supports high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them develop leadership skills and create a positive impact in their communities.
