Thanking Our Donors!

By June of 2016, all three girls in the film would have graduated from college debt free. They will become the first girls in their family's to graduate college. This work would be impossible without the support of everyday people like you. Here is a special list of those who have donated within the past year! Victor Kwansa Kojo Clarke Regina Austin Barbara Miller Yorm Ackau Fola Adeleke Jeff Coleman and Nancy Loeb Nicole Lewis Penny Hirsch John Wattemberg George Coehlo

University of Ghana Institute for African Studies Host HerStory Screening featuring Lily!

In A full circle moment, HerStory screened at the same institution where the director, Sally Nuamah, began the film project as student in 2009. Seven years later, through this film project she has been able to use the funds raised the film to support girls like Lily attend that same school. Lily, who graduated from the University of Ghana in November of 2015, on a full scholarship from HerStory came to the screening and shared her story with jam packed audience. She described herself as proud of being able to inspire others. What a great moment! Please donate and continue to support girls like her! Lily and her Mom at Graduation from the University of Ghana!
