About Us

Mission

Batonga’s mission is to support both secondary school and higher education for girls in Africa. We are doing this by granting scholarships, building secondary schools, increasing enrollment, improving teaching standards, providing school supplies, supporting mentor programs, exploring alternative education models and advocating for community awareness of the value of education for girls.

For me, education is so crucial because everything goes with it, like healthy politics and development. Young people are the hope of my continent. When I watch the children of Africa, all dreams seem possible. Angelique Kidjo, from UNICEF interview
