What's Happening at WMI?
Think of a book that changed your life 📚 One that helped shape the person that you are.
Books have power! They contain ideas that can change the world.
On this ✨✨ GIVING TUESDAY ✨✨ we are asking you to give the gift of knowledge, power, and social change…by providing textbooks for the pioneering young leaders we serve.
Our goal is $7500. This will provide textbooks for 25 WMI Scholars (of the 308 currently enrolled) for the entire year. This goal is ambitious, but through the years we at WMI have learned that nothing is impossible with generous support from our community. 💚
Please consider making a gift today!!

I missed the day but our contribution is on its way to support one scholar. WMI is all about making a difference one scholar at a time.
Samuel Nduwayezu is a 2020 WMI Graduate Scholar who studied nursing at the University of Rwanda. Even as a child, Samuel knew he wanted to pursue a career in nursing. A native of Rwanda, he had firsthand experience of the country’s dire lack of access to medical care. There is one healthcare worker for every 1,000 people, with even more drastic shortages in rural communities.
While studying for his undergraduate degree, Samuel became aware of another issue plaguing women and children in Rwanda: malnutrition and its detrimental effects. Using the knowledge he had gained with support from WMI, he formed HEZA Initiative, a community-based organization that supports mothers and children at risk for malnutrition by providing access to nutritious foods like eggs. In addition, they empower families economically by teaching women poultry farming skills, creating pathways for long-term economic stability.
Because of support from WMI, Samuel is pursuing his dream career as a Nurse while meeting the needs of his community through HEZA Initiative. Thank you for making a difference in his life, and the lives of hundreds of women and children in Rwanda!
If you would like to provide education and additional support to even more ambitious young leaders like Samuel, please consider making a gift today: www.wellsmountaininitiative.org/donate/
