WMI has provided 345 scholars in 42 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 encourages 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?
We are determined to change the world for the better. We know that is a big task, but we plan to do it slowly, but surely, through education, community-building and our magic weapon, our WMI Scholars. These dynamic young people from 42 developing nations are creating change in their communities and their countries. Please take a few minutes to watch our new video to learn more. By all means, pass it along. Help us grow our WMI family. Find us at www.wellsmountaininitiative.org.

“I want to be a social worker because I am an outspoken, determined and persistent young lady who wants to be a voice for the voiceless. I would like to stand and speak up for the marginalized and the socially downtrodden.”
Sithembiso has albinism, a condition that is misunderstood and stigmatized in her culture. She has had to overcome much bias against her condition and learn to stand tall. She has a particular interest in helping teenage girls to improve their self-esteem. She volunteers at secondary schools giving talks about sexual health and body consciousness. She enjoys leading discussions about topics of interest to young people and advances a theme of openness and acceptance. “I promised myself that if I ever get to the top I would send down the elevator.” Her stated goal is to work in low-income countries for the emancipation of the powerless who are often socially, economically and politically deprived. She wants to help create peaceful co-existence in her community and, with her degree in hand, to assist people of her country in improving their lives and fight against oppressive social norms.
That is so great oppresing the unfortunate has been what has always required interventions
Very inspiring may u continue with your good work
Sithembiso--Keep at it. We are so proud of you.
"I am eternally grateful to the Wells Mountain Initiative. Without the scholarship I received at the undergraduate level, I would not have pursued my education further and secured this job. I have received a lot from WMI and I look for ways I can contribute to the education of other less privileged children."
Fru Delvis Ngang of Cameroon was the first in his family to attend university. Six years later he is now an assistant lecturer of statistics and data analysis, geoinformatics, community development, and project management and is a research officer at his alma mater. In five years his dream is to be a senior lecturer and research coordinator. To achieve this dream he has earned a post-graduate diploma in development management and governance. He continues to reach higher and is currently enrolled in a monitoring and evaluation masters degree program. Fru also supports the education of his two nieces, a younger brother, and an adopted orphan.

This past year Eunice volunteered 787 hours! Eunice Kontomo Tungmene is a WMI Student Scholar of nursing and midwifery from Ghana. Eunice’s dream of becoming a nurse may have seemed out of reach, but as a prior teachers states, “She is a lady who does not allow obstacles to stop her from reaching her goals. Rather, she uses them as a stepping stone.”
Eunice has certainly exhibited an inspiring level of dedication to her studies, her profession and to her commitment to serve the most vulnerable. Over the year Eunice has performed immunization outreach activities and handed out mosquito nets to families in Nsueam-Kyekyewere community, collected donations for patients in the children’s ward, and provided health screenings, immunization and care for children at a children’s home. Eunice has worked at three hospitals, primarily in maternity wards, including the Sawla Polyclinic, which is located in a remote part of Northern Ghana where she often must run double shifts in order to provide care to all the patients.
You are a star @Eunice
Continue the good work, Eunice God bless your efforts
