Dear friends,

Together, we Ignited Change! 🎉

Because of your generosity and belief in the power of education, Igniting Change 2026 raised $164,392 (and counting!) to expand access to university education and invest in the next generation of community leaders.

This is so much more than a fundraising milestone. It represents students whose dreams are within reach, and communities that will benefit from the leadership and service of WMI Scholars for years to come.

THANK YOU for investing in extraordinary leaders who are creating lasting change in their own communities. And thank you for being an essential part of the WMI family. 💗

📢 For the next 2 days, you have the chance to make twice the difference!

WMI Board Member Claire Marie Thomas is generously matching all donations—up to $2500—to help ambitious young leaders access higher education and create lasting change in their communities. That means your gift today will go twice as far.

🌍 Across Africa and beyond, WMI Scholars are becoming doctors, educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders. They're tackling local challenges with determination, innovation, and a commitment to service.

But they can't do it alone.

Will you help us unlock Claire's $2500 challenge and double your impact before TOMORROW, June 30th? Every dollar you give today creates twice the opportunity for future leaders.

Thank you for being an integral part of this community. 💗

🌱On this International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, we want to shine the spotlight on WMI Scholar Nura Muhammad Umar, a medical student at Bayero University Kano. As a co-founder and Program Coordinator of the NextGen Shapers Foundation, Nura led a drug abuse awareness campaign at Government College Kano, reaching 150 secondary school students with vital information on the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of making healthy choices.💙

According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), 70% of people receiving treatment for drug use disorders in Africa are under the age of 35, highlighting the disproportionate impact of substance abuse on young people across the continent.

Nura believes that early education is key to prevention. By equipping students with knowledge before harmful behaviors begin, he is helping to build safer schools, healthier communities, and a more responsible generation.

At WMI, we are proud to support scholars who use their education and leadership to create lasting change.
