Children, like adults, experience stress, loneliness, and hopelessness, which can hinder their productivity and success. Recognizing this, teachers and directors from Ministry of Education-approved schools have sought AWAGO’s Quiet Time meditation programs to help students start their day with clarity and focus. With a refreshed mind, academic performance naturally improves.
AWAGO also integrates proven vocational and extracurricular education initiatives from our partners, ensuring a holistic approach that equips youth with the tools to manage stress, enhance learning, and build a strong foundation for success.
Empowering one girl has a profound ripple effect, extending beyond her individual success to impact her family, community, and future generations. When a girl gains the confidence and skills to lead, she not only transforms her own life but also becomes a beacon of change, inspiring and uplifting those around her. This cascading impact underscores the critical importance of AWAGO’s mission, as each empowered girl contributes to building a stronger, more equitable society.
AWAGO offers Quiet Time programs in various formats, including:
- TM Clubs
- Integrated School Programs
- Extracurricular (Afterschool) Programming
Scientific Research & Proven Impact Studies show that meditation in education leads to:
Increase in graduation rates.
Reduction in psychological distress in students

Scholarships
We also offer full scholarships that cover school fees, materials, and personal supplies for girls at risk of dropping out of school.
