FEmale leadership
Empowering future leaders
Leadership for girls and young women at Korowa is not an aspiration, it is a lived experience. From the classroom to the stage, the laboratory to the boardroom, girls learn what leadership looks like by seeing it, practising it, and owning it every day.
All student leadership positions are held by girls. This means that leadership is not something to be observed from the sidelines, but something to be practised, tested, and refined. Students learn to lead by doing: making decisions, working collaboratively, and understanding the impact of their voice and actions.
Your philanthropic support allows Korowa to extend these leadership experiences even further. Through scholarships, bursaries, innovative programs and state-of-the-art facilities, every donation helps to create an environment where girls are challenged to think deeply, act with purpose, and grow into confident, capable leaders.
Giving to Korowa is an investment in a future where young women are prepared to lead: not occasionally or conditionally, but as a natural extension of their education and experience.
