We’re helping African women make a difference in this world . . . one higher education at a time.

Support vibrant, intelligent African women

There are some incredible women in Africa who could make a massive impact on the world with the help of a world-class higher education. Farai was passionate about inspiring and impacting these women. Farai’s family and friends know that her impact was just getting started.

inspired by

farai

Farai was a phenomenal woman.  An accomplished mother, physician, board advisor, management consultant and executive.   She connected with others via her larger than life personality, caring nature, and brilliance.

She benefitted from multiple degrees, including an MBA from one of the top programs in the world.  She blazed her path through an extraordinary career where she impacted companies, inspired coworkers, and touched lives.  

Farai left us too soon.

We are committed to honoring her memory and extending her legacy by creating a foundation that continues to make a difference in other’s lives, with a focus on African women.
