On Monday, May 9, 2022, the Women's Global Education Project community met at Salvage One for our annual Ndajee celebration, a benefit to support girls' education in rural Senegal & Kenya. Ndajee (en-DAH-jee) means "get together" in Wolof, and we were so thrilled to finally get together in-person, after 2+ years of virtual-only events.
If you weren't able to join the event live, please watch the highlights on our YouTube channel, and make a donation to help us reach our event fundraising goal!

Event Details
This year's event was hosted by longtime WGEP advocate Jerome McDonnell, featured a drum and dance performance by NAJWA Dance Corps, honored our 2022 Impact Award winner and lifelong advocate for girls' education, Lucy Ascoli, and celebrated Mother's Day!
Our fundraising goal of $240,000 will help expand our impact to ensure that the most hard-to-reach girls receive the resources they need to get an education and be equipped with the confidence to make their own healthy life decisions.
