In this powerful and emotional episode of the Money Pig podcast, host Tim Goodwin sits down with humanitarian, educator, and founder of the African Girls Hope Foundation, Dr. Grace Raja Bantu. Grace shares her extraordinary journey—fleeing her home in the Democratic Republic of Congo at age 13 during the war, surviving years in multiple refugee camps, learning six languages, and somehow finishing school against impossible odds.

Grace recounts how strangers stepped in at critical moments, including a miraculous scholarship that allowed her to graduate from Daystar University in Kenya after nearly being expelled for unpaid tuition. That act of generosity planted the seed for what would become the African Girls Hope Foundation (AGHF)—a nonprofit that today provides full educational scholarships to over 250 refugee and orphaned girls across Kenya and the DRC.

Tim and Grace discuss why education changes everything, the harsh realities girls face without it (from child marriage to trafficking), and how AGHF provides not just tuition but mentoring, safety, stability, and hope. They share stories of girls whose lives are being rewritten—like Beatrice, the first AGHF scholar to graduate college.

This episode is part storytelling, part call to action… and an unforgettable reminder that one life can transform generations.

Key Themes:

• Surviving war, displacement, and refugee life
• The miracle moments that saved Grace’s education
• Why girls’ education is the most powerful tool for ending generational poverty
• The unique structure and impact of AGHF scholarships
• How listeners can be part of changing a girl’s life forever
