The Soko Fund
Welcome to THE SOKO FUND a small Scottish-registered education charity devoted exclusively (and uniquely) to securing university education for women in Malawi – one of the poorest countries in the world.
Poverty means that aid to Malawi is focussed first and foremost on food, then health (AIDS is rife) then basic school education. Understandably university education gets almost no attention.
Experience has shown, though, that it has immense benefits, especially for women -- individual women and their extended families can look to a far brighter future, local universities can counter the ‘brain drain,’ and the whole country is able to capitalize on indigenous female talent. That’s why THE SOKO FUND exists.
