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.

He returned not only as a benefactor but as a living testimony of what the power of education can do.

“I walked these very grounds as a young boy with dreams and nothing else,” he shared. “Today, I come back with gratitude in my heart and a commitment to ensure that girls who sit where I once sat get a fair chance at their future.”

Mr. Kwawununu announced that more life-changing initiatives are on the horizon, targeted at investing in the next generation of Ghanaian change-makers — with a special focus on girls from marginalized backgrounds.

KETASCO’s Headmaster, Innocent August, expressed profound appreciation to the donors.

“You are seen. You are supported. And you are capable. Let this scholarship not just be a blessing to you, but a fire that fuels your academic drive and your purpose.”

The launch was not just an event — it was a movement. A call to shift the tides of inequality. A signal that education for girls is no longer negotiable; it’s necessary.

Through the I AM HERe Scholarship, recipients will not just be able to complete school, they will be positioned to lead, to innovate, to break generational cycles, and to build new legacies.

“This is about brilliance without borders. It's about creating a Ghana — and a world — where girls can rise without apology, lead without permission, and succeed without compromise.”

The launch concluded with an emotional charge to all the recipients: to strive, to soar, and to never forget to extend the same bridge to others when their time comes.
