Introducing Our Be That Girl Trailblazers
Discover the inspiring profiles of our BTG University Scholars. This platform connects our talented individuals with networking opportunities, and fosters a vibrant alumni community. Explore their journeys and contribute to their professional growth within our expansive network.
Be That Girl (BTG) believes that when a girl has agency, entire communities rise. That is why we created the Trailblazers Sponsorship Programme, that each year sets aside funding for BTG to provide targeted support that helps talented young women access university studies, gain practical skills, and step confidently into work or entrepreneurship.
We are currently sponsoring a cohort of university scholars to the University of Rwanda, providing scholarships and wrap-around support tailored to each young woman’s needs. That support includes tuition assistance, learning materials and laptops, sustained one-to-one mentorship, career coaching and internship linkages, and emotional-wellbeing resources. We also partner with local employers, training centres and microfinance partners to open real pathways beyond graduation.
We are in the process of setting up a new scholarship programme in cooperation with MUST university in Malawi and the Rotary Club of Lilongwe Lotus chapter. Updates on this and the profiles of the scholars, once selected, will be posted here.
This page celebrates the stories and achievements of the Trailblazers. Browse their profiles, learn what they’re studying, and discover how BTG’s sponsorship is helping them turn ambition into impact. Please note: some of the Trailblazers are still working on preparing their profiles. These will be added here once ready.
