The Spark of Hope Foundation (USA) empowers bright young women in the Global South, especially in regions that are in turmoil or remote, to become tomorrow’s leaders through providing scholarships for post-secondary education. With university education, each of them will impact thousands of lives as doctors, engineers, journalists, lawyers, managers, scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and teachers.

ABOUT US
We are a registered 501c3 in the United States. Our purpose is to empower young women, primarily in the developing world, through providing scholarships for post-secondary education.

We aim to lift such young women, their families and their communities out of the cycle of poverty and despair by igniting a spark of hope. We also believe that empowering young women, especially those from countries in turmoil, strengthens local communities and is key to creating long term transformational change.

Our focus is bright young women, who demonstrate leadership potential, but lack the financial means to afford a quality university-level education.
