Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) is a pan-African Non-Governmental Organization formed in 1993 and registered in Nairobi, Kenya. FAWE is the fruit of five visionary and distinguished African Women Ministers of Education at the time; who resolved to act against the appalling state of girls’ education in Africa, as a strategy towards ‘Education For All’ (EFA). These visionary women Ministers of Education knew that education for all was impossible, unless the girls were given a push. They, therefore, formed FAWE as a strategy to accelerate EFA by  bridging the gender gap. read more>>   

FAWEU strives to build partnership with the private sector and individuals as a tool for resource mobilization, advocacy and strengthened network for promotion and support to girls’ education. 

In 2007 during the 10 years celebration, FAWEU in conjunction with the Uganda Lady Golfers initiated a fundraising golf tournament to mobilize resources in support of girl child education in Uganda. A number of private partners were mobilized to sponsor a team of two and the response was positive.  As a result the proceeds from the mobilization for the golf tournament supported 10 needy girls to access secondary school education. Following the success of the event and the noble cause it addressed, the Uganda Golf Club – Ladies section pledged to have the tournament as an annual event to solicit for support from the corporate companies towards promotion of girls’ education. read more>>
