Celebrating International Women's Day and Commonwealth Day 2021
#ChoosetoChallenge #IWD2021 #SheLeadsTheWay
At CGEF we sponsor the secondary education of hundreds of able but financial deprived girls who would otherwise not have had the opportunity to receive an education.
Despite the challenge of a global pandemic, many of the girls we support have successfully passed their National exams and are now aspiring to higher education. 🏫
🙌 We are proud of their resilience and ⭐ celebrate all our girls, and the many women who support us around the Commonwealth 🌎

Thank you to the High Commission of Canada
A huge thank you to the staff of the High Commission of Canada for their donation to the Commonwealth Girls Education Fund
On Wednesday 5th February, Roxanne St Clair (Chair) and Danielle Jones-Smith (Secretary) were invited to the High Commission of Canada to receive donations from their staff for the Commonwealth Girls Education Fund.
Upon arrival they were greeted by Noora Virtanen, Public Affairs Assistant, and shown around a section of Canada House originally built in 1800. They then entered The Canada Gallery and shown an exhibition entitled 'Avatars Aliens Ancestors' by artist Skawennati.
On behalf of the girls who receive funding for their secondary school education, thank you to everyone who donated to support them.
