About our cause

The Commonwealth Countries League Education Fund is a Secondary Education Sponsorship Scheme which started as a women’s group in 1925, it commenced sponsoring disadvantaged girls through secondary schooling in 1967 and became a registered UK charity in 1982. The main objectives of the Fund are:
 To sponsor the secondary education of capable Commonwealth girls, in their own country, subject to annual assessment. The money is paid direct to the school and may be used towards the costs of school and examination fees where and applicable, transportation, school meals, uniform, books and other incidental expenses.
 To pay for special training, in their own country, of capable Commonwealth girls of secondary school age with physical disabilities.
 To administer special funds for tertiary education
Women make up 50% of a community-if they are disadvantaged, the whole community is disadvantaged. Education makes a difference to the girl, her family and her community but many commonwealth countries remain unable to provide universal and good quality secondary education. When opportunities are limited, girls will usually be the first to miss out; yet educated girls may become high achievers with much to offer and by marrying later, many have smaller, healthier families with better prospects of schooling for their children
