THE INUKA FUND
UCBC has an average enrollment of 41% women, which is remarkable in eastern Congo. Still, further work is needed. Our desire is to reach 50% or more women students at UCBC.
The Inuka Fund provides additional support to women ready to pursue higher education. INUKA means “rise” in Swahili. When women rise their communities flourish. Women face barriers to educational and economic opportunities, from primary school through university. We are committed to advancing gender equity at UCBC and ensuring women receive the same opportunities to lead and create change. They are vital for transformative impact and thriving communities.
