HerStory: The TWII Foundation Girls Scholarship

HerStory: The TWII Foundation Girls Scholarship The TWII foundation HerStory scholarship films and funds low income girls in Ghana striving to become Yes, every single one of them.

TWII Foundation is an organization that provides scholarships for girls to be in the first in their families to go to and through college. Since our inception in 2012, we have a 100% college completion rate, a 3.7 average GPA, our first graduate is our current coordinator and our second is enrolled in her MBA while working as a principal accountant for the Ghana Education Services; others have bee

n selected for programs at Harvard and all graduates are employed in top business and non profit organizations throughout the country. They were the first college graduates in their families and now their siblings are attending college! We plan to serve many more, but we need your help.

Our short film, HerStory, documents Sally Nuamah's experience while doing field research in Ghana on the determinants of academic success for female students in urban Ghana today. In this film, she takes a rare look into the lives of young women who attend secondary school in Ghana and realizes that collectively there is an overarching story. With the use of their stories, this film will illustrate the daily activities of young women, such as Esther, who go to sleep at 11 pm only to wake up at 4am (not unusual for students at her level) in order to do her chores, read, pray and then take two buses before beginning school at 8 am each day. By taking a a brief look at the lives of these young women, the reader will be to better understand the spirituality, discipline and determination that gives these students the ability to surpass the obstacles presented by their present circumstances and be academically successful.
