WMI has provided 479 scholars in 47 countries with scholarships,
professional development and skill building. Here’s how:
WMI provides financial and social support to undergraduate students obtaining degrees in community-oriented fields, and supports them to be the agents of change in their own communities, nations and the world.
Although our Scholars program stands at the forefront of our mission, our special interest projects play an integral role in WMI’s vision for impact. Our legacy programs include community projects in Haiti and a global literacy program.
What's Happening at WMI?
Wendy Aduful, who is studying medicine in Ghana, tutored ten young students for 100 hours while schools were closed due to COVID-19. Wendy witnessed scholars majorly improving their understanding of subjects and expressing a desire to pursue their education with greater focus once school was in session again.
Abel Manjimela is a scholar of nursing and midwifery in Zambia. He organized a volunteer program with fellow medical students to provide support to three understaffed local hospitals. In a country with only seven nurses per 10,000 people having additional staff in hospitals can have a significant impact on patient care.
Since becoming a WMI Scholar in 2017, Bullen Atem has volunteered over 1000 hours (including 300 in 2020) to educate and mentor South Sudanese refugee youth in Nakuru, Kenya. He has provided academic instruction and support, as well as guidance on educational goals and self-discipline, also facilitating some sporting activities as well. Bullen sees academic advancement and mentorship as powerful tools for community development.
