Education is the truly the great equalizer. Unfortunately, the access to education is often hampered by financial constraints for many students in the Caribbean. Realizing the importance of providing bright and eager students an opportunity to attend and excel in school, Nikiki Bogle took the initiative to create the Caribbean Education Foundation.

Now, in its fourth year, the CEF has evolved from an idea to a fully operating organization dedicated to addressing the needs of youth in the Caribbean, by alleviating the monetary burden that would have undoubtedly caused a strain on low-income families. The CEF presently provides tuition, travel, textbooks and enrichment for 6 talented students in Jamaica.

With a proven track record of success, and a scalable framework, the CEF is working to create relationships with school administration on other islands within the Caribbean. One day, Ms. Bogle's vision will be fulfilled in the future and every student in the Caribbean will be afforded an equal opportunity for educational advancement.
