Bright Minds Africa

Empowering Girls. Transforming Communities. 

Sponsor an out-of-school girl to attend Bright Minds Academy, changing her life trajectory to an empowered young woman. 


We are a team of Nigerian and Cameroonian women empowering the next generation of women leaders. Because we are from the communities we serve, we know what our communities need and how to use our funding to have the biggest impact.


Education

Sponsor an out-of-school girl to attend Bright Minds Academy for the 2025-2026 school year, creating a pathway for her to university.


A sponsorship of $1,100 provides:



Sponsors receive photos and updates of their sponsored student's academic journey. 


The longer a girl stays in school, the later she tends to get married, the healthier her children, and the more economically stable her community becomes. What if every family with means sponsored the education of a girl without means? Imagine the world we could live in.... 

Clean Water


$3,000 funds a clean water project that:



Donors receive photos of the well they funded and have the option to write a message to the community on the wall of the well. An oversight committee ensures routine maintenance of the well.


Healthcare

Sponsor a critically ill child for $375 and save a life

Over 90% of children who participate in our Thriving Families Program maintain a healthy weight after graduation, remain in school, and continue to thrive.
