What's Happening at WMI?
📣 Exciting News from WMI!
Each October, WMI invites a select group of its most distinguished scholars to visit the United States, celebrating their accomplishments and providing an opportunity for expanded networking and cross-cultural collaboration.
This year, we are proud to welcome two pioneering WMI Alumni who are leading local and global change in their fields of medicine and public health:
Dr. Onesai Caltas Chiguvare, a medical doctor from Zimbabwe and Dr. Isaac Yeboah, a medical doctor from Ghana.
These leaders have been invited to the U.S. this October as WMI’s Scholar Ambassadors.
This is a unique opportunity to connect with WMI staff, board members, and supporters, share their personal journeys through presentations, contribute to strategic planning, and explore New York City, New Jersey, and Washington DC.
Stay tuned as we share highlights and interactions from this trip!

🌟 MEET SARAH NADURU: The First Female WMI Alumna From South Sudan 🌟
“In my community, women are seen as second-hand human beings,” Sarah wrote in her scholarship essay. “They are not allowed to speak before men or be part of any decision-making. Only 20% of women can read or write. That means 80% of us are illiterate.”
Sarah Naduru is from the Azande community in South Sudan, a place where girls are rarely given the chance to go to school, and where education is seen as a privilege for boys. But Sarah refused to accept that.
When her father died, her mother, who never had the chance to go to school, did everything she could to raise her children. Sarah’s sister, working in Kenya, stepped in to sponsor her secondary education. But when that support ended, Sarah didn’t stop.
With support from Wells Mountain Initiative, Sarah earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and Social Administration from St. Lawrence University in Uganda, graduating with First Class Honors. 🎓
📌 Today, Sarah is proud to be the first female WMI Alumna from South Sudan.
Education transforms everything. It empowers women to break generational cycles of poverty, advocate for their communities, and change systems from the inside out.
Through scholarships and community support, Wells Mountain Initiative helps students from low-income countries pursue higher education and create lasting change.
