The I AM HERe Foundation, in partnership with Global Bridge Holdings Limited – Bahamas, has launched a transformative scholarship scheme dubbed the I AM HERe Scholarship at Keta Senior High Technical School (KETASCO).

Backed by an impressive $50,000 seed fund and with Sagoma Construction International stepping in as the title donor for this year, this scholarship is not just a donation, it is a declaration that no girl with potential should be left behind because she cannot afford an education.

Vice President of the CFO and a powerhouse behind the I AM HERe Foundation, Claudia C. Pinder, delivered a stirring address saying, “Today, I am helping. I’m empowering. I’m restoring dignity, equity, and excellence.

“This scholarship is not charity — it is faith. Faith in the brilliance of our girls. Faith in education as the ultimate equaliser.”

She described the initiative as a bridge to brilliance, a tangible path for girls born into hardship to rise and take their place at the table of opportunity, leadership, and legacy.

The ceremony was even more emotional for Mr. Ishmael Kwawununu, Founder and President of Global Bridge Holdings — himself an old student of KETASCO.
