SayPro, in collaboration with the United States Peace Corps, is expanding access to higher education for women in rural areas, where cultural and economic barriers often prevent them from continuing their studies. SayPro believes that investing in women’s higher education unlocks community potential and promotes gender equality across generations. Through scholarships, mentorship, and digital classrooms, SayPro brings college and vocational opportunities closer to rural women. Peace Corps volunteers help identify candidates, support online learning, and facilitate study circles. SayPro aims to create a future where rural women lead in every field.
SayPro works with local colleges and technical institutes to create accessible pathways for women who may have dropped out or never enrolled. SayPro offers preparatory courses, financial aid, and flexible schedules to meet the realities of rural life. Peace Corps assists with language support, digital literacy training, and career guidance. SayPro also engages families and communities to promote the value of educating girls beyond secondary school. By addressing financial, social, and cultural obstacles, SayPro ensures more women transition into higher education with confidence and support.
SayPro promotes leadership and professional development by pairing rural students with women mentors from diverse professions. These relationships help young women navigate academic life, build networks, and explore future career options. Peace Corps volunteers support leadership workshops, entrepreneurship training, and public speaking clubs for female students. SayPro also creates safe housing and learning environments for women traveling from remote areas. This comprehensive support system enables rural women not only to access higher education but to thrive in it — as learners, leaders, and change-makers.
SayPro tracks program success through enrollment numbers, graduation rates, and post-education employment outcomes. Peace Corps assists in monitoring impact and collecting student feedback. SayPro advocates for government investment in rural women’s education and scholarships at the national level. Together, SayPro and the Peace Corps are transforming education into a ladder of opportunity — allowing rural women to rise, break barriers, and rewrite the story of their communities with vision and purpose.
