Fellowship Spotlight 🇿🇲
WMI Zambia Fellowship Community Project

The WMI Zambia Fellowship team kicked off their annual activity plan with a meaningful visit to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) Low-Cost Maternity Ward.

The University Teaching Hospital (UTH) is the biggest public hospital in Lusaka, Zambia. It is the largest hospital with 1,655 beds. It is a teaching hospital and, as such, is used to train local medical students, nurses and other health professionals. UTH is the main medical training institution in Zambia for doctors, nurses, clinical officers and other health professionals.

The Zambia Team organised to support new mothers and their little ones, donating essential cleaning supplies to ensure a safe, sanitary, and healthy environment during those essential first days.

Way to lead with heart, team Zambia! 🙌🧼👶

We are so thankful to the Deloitte volunteers for making an impact that matters on #ImpactDay last Friday! 🚀🚀🚀

A few words from our incredible board member, Margaret Rush:

"I was able to bring together two important parts of my world at Deloitte's #ImpactDay: this year, I had the privilege of facilitating a Business Chemistry session with Wells Mountain Initiative scholars, helping them understand their own working styles, recognize the strengths others bring, and learn how to collaborate across difference.

These are skills that matter whether you're leading a health clinic in Uganda, a cooperative in Nepal, or a youth program in Guatemala.

I love that I was able to introduce the brilliant WMI scholars to something new together with my colleagues."

🌍 World Environment Day | WMI Alumni Making a Difference

At the Wells Mountain Initiative, we believe education creates leaders who go on to transform their communities.

Today, on World Environment Day, we're proud to celebrate WMI alumnus Edwin Bokai, founder of Youth Action Lead Liberia.

This week, Edwin and his team are bringing community legal empowerment training to the mining-affected communities of Kpeteyea and Kpoyansayea in Liberia's Lofa County.

Through this initiative, local residents are learning how to advocate for their rights, protect their environment, and promote safer, more responsible mining practices.

Environmental sustainability is not only about protecting forests and rivers, it is also about ensuring that communities have the knowledge and tools to safeguard the places they call home.

We are inspired to see WMI scholars and alumni like Edwin turning education into action and creating lasting impact for both people and the planet.

💚 This World Environment Day, we celebrate leaders who are empowering communities, amplifying local voices, and building a more sustainable future for all.
