Celebrate 20 Years of Transforming Lives
Our 20th anniversary is a time to celebrate the impact we’ve built together over two decades. To mark this milestone, we are introducing our 20 for 20 Planned Giving Initiative, inviting supporters to consider how their values can create opportunity for generations to come.
Together, we can ensure that future scholars continue to experience the life-changing power of education.

DID YOU KNOW? In 2025, over 150 volunteers reviewed more than 1,600 scholarship applications! 🎇
🎓 Our scholarship program really is a young person’s entry point into a lifetime of support with WMI. Without volunteer reviewers, there could be no scholarship program. Without volunteer reviewers, there could be no WMI. Their commitment makes our work possible.
April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and today we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every person who has donated their time to WMI through the years. Whether as a volunteer reviewer, board member, advisory board member, consultant, graphic designer, event support, or in other ways.

🌍 Continuing with our 20 for 20 storytelling campaign, we are proud to highlight Ackim Longwe, a 2022 WMI Scholar from Malawi.
After losing his father at a young age and facing significant financial challenges, Ackim stayed committed to his education, developing an early passion for computers that would shape his future. 💻
With limited resources, he took the initiative to teach himself physics and technology, seizing every opportunity to learn.
🎓 With support from WMI, Ackim earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Livingstonia - UNILIA CHILL.
Today, he is a software engineer with over four years of experience, and serves as an Assistant Systems Engineer at the University of Malawi.
Ackim is now working to make artificial intelligence more accessible to marginalized communities—helping bridge the digital divide and expand opportunity across Malawi.
His journey is a testament to using innovation for local and global good. 💡
