We invest in girls because the math is unambiguous.
Every additional year a girl stays in school raises her future income by ~12%, delays marriage by 1.6 years, and reduces child mortality in her future household by ~10%. We build the infrastructure to make those additional years happen.
Keep girls in school through graduation and into opportunity.
We identify girls at risk of dropping out, fund their full educational journey, and track outcomes from enrollment through economic transition.
A measurable end to gendered educational dropout in Africa.
A scalable model — replicable across regions — where no girl's education ends because of school fees, distance, or family economic pressure.
"I left school at fourteen. My sister did not."
Our founder, Ruby Anyumba, grew up in a community where over half of girls left school by Form 2. The reasons were never simple — fees, distance, family economics, the absence of anyone tracking who had stopped showing up.
After twelve years building monitoring systems for international NGOs, Ruby returned home with a single question: what would it take to build an organization where every girl identified at-risk has a name, a record, a sponsor, and an outcome?
Ajiwo International is the answer. Not a charity. A structured organization for measurable, scalable educational outcomes.
