Member Board of Trustees
Apr 2022 — Present · GB
The Education Endowment Fund and The Office for Students cite rising costs as a barrier to attendance for a majority of students, especially those who are financially disadvantaged. The challenge for so many students who don’t have financial backing, is first the knowledge of, and finding the time to get the support they need in scholarships, bursaries and other means. There is an African saying that when it comes to raising a child it takes a village. Akama (AkamaFund.org) is the village behind millions of students who will contribute to our society for future generations. Our aim is to help bridge that gap between today\'s students and their dreams of the future by harnessing the power of philanthropy at scale via our platform. We are looking for those willing to fund and power the next generation of talent. Akama is a registered charity, registered charity number 11•••72. The Village Behind You® is a registered trademark of Akama.
