A young woman who has received a scholarship through the Wings to Fly program shares her story at the amphitheater at Kasarami Stadium in Nairobi, Kenya.

On May 2, 2015, President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton joined over 5,000 secondary school scholars at the Wings to Fly program’s annual Leadership Congress. The Wings to Fly program is part of the Clinton Global Initiative commitment “Investing in Kenyan Youth and Women.” This commitment, launched in 2010 by Equity Bank Limited and the MasterCard Foundation, awards scholarships for school fees, uniforms, supplies, transport, and other needs to low-income young women and men so that they can afford secondary schooling in Kenya. President Clinton and Chelsea Clinton heard the stories of a variety of young women and men who have received these scholarships through Wings to Fly.
