Elle ira à l’école
To promote the education of young girls in Guinea
Folly’s commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment has been a driving force for much of her life. She has devoted a lot of her time to help bridge the gap in women’s and girls’ rights to education and equality.
Having collaborated with the UN over the years on a number of initiatives to empower women, Folly set up Elle Ira A L’Ecole Foundation Kesso Bah in 2019, to help young girls get an education in her native Guinea. The Foundation fully funds their schooling by paying their fees, transportation, meals, supplies and provides career advice.
Through her foundation, Folly wants to make sure that the young girls she helps have access to good education and get the support they and their families require. This has been a lifelong commitment for the Bah family and the foundation is named after Folly’s sister who passed away in 2014; and whose passion to help girls and women was unparalleled.
