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.

From almost dropping out to graduating in Public Health, Gatduel is part of the healthcare solution South Sudan needs. Gatduel's dream of becoming a health worker, which started during the civil war years ago, was almost slipping away until 2022, when WMI stepped in.
With the WMI scholarship, he completed his Nursing program in 2023. This month, he graduated with a degree in Public Health from Kampala University. Now he’s back in Juba, serving his community. He works long 24-hour shifts across two hospitals, showing up every day despite the tough conditions and low pay.
Gatduel is living out his goal to improve healthcare for his people. This is what investing in education looks like. One person is supported and a whole community is impacted.

Update from Kitale, Kenya 🇰🇪
Today, WMI team visited Oliver Ray Karani’s maize farm. Oliver was awarded a WMI Seed Grant in February, and he has already put it to great use.
He planted maize on 2.5 acres of land and is working with seven youths from his community as casual laborers; creating both food and jobs.
He’s expecting a harvest of over 80 bags by June and is already thinking ahead about working with millers to add more value.
We had a great time walking through the farm with his team. It’s encouraging to see the impact already taking shape. 🌱
