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?
Introducing WMI’s intern Maren Taylor! Maren is a sophomore at Middlebury College where she majors in Psychology and Minors in Global Health. She is currently working on an independent study project within the Global Health Department where she researches aid initiatives and ways scholarship programs can influence long-term development globally in sectors such as health, environment, equality and economic prosperity. As a part of her independent study, she is helping WMI research potential outreach and resource development partners. She plans on continuing to work in the field of global aid this summer at World Connect in New York City and she looks forward to future opportunities to work with WMI.

Congratulations to all WMI Scholars working hard to promote social justice in their communities.

This is a challenge and a motivation too.... if each one person can touch two lives, none in the world would face challenges a lone. Kudos Scholars!

One can not help many but many can help one person to have a better life .
Meet Mariam Sulleiman, of Nigeria, a 2018 WMI Scholar of Engineering and a dedicated social activist. During high school she challenged the prevailing notion that Muslim girls couldn’t participate in sports and other school-related activities. She pushed her administration to allow them to be fully involved in their school and slowly changed the culture around her. As an agent of the Nigerian Women’s Trust Fund she encouraged women to join political parties and help alleviate political apathy. After getting her degree Mariam plans to find work as an engineer in her country with the goal of eventually starting her own business. She wants to put her education and experience to work, to train, motivate, empower and employ women in the field of electrical engineering.

WMI, in partnership with Ridgewood, NJ YCMA and YMCA d'Haiti, has just built the 6th container YMCA Community Center erected since 2012. These buildings provide the local community with access to a diversity of resources previously unavailable. This year, 17 construction volunteers traveled to Jacmel, Haiti to build a community center in memory of Andy Topp, who was instrumental in the Container YMCAs project since it’s beginning and who died tragically piloting his single engine mission plane last May. Thanks to the hard work and support of many the new Andy Topp Community Center YMCA will celebrate it’s grand opening on Saturday, March 30th.
“I want to serve my country and help fight the injustice of unequal healthcare access and outcomes.”
Moises Gutierrez, WMI Scholar and medical student in Nicaragua, was the first in his family to complete high school, earning excellent grades and placing among the top in his class. Becoming a doctor will enable Moises to directly impact the quality of life for both his family and for countless Nicaraguans. “I’ve felt powerless many times thinking about the problems here, but I’ve never felt hopeless. I believe that no matter how small an action it seems, fighting down here from the bottom, I can give light and hope to others.”
So glad you will be spreading light and hope!
Congrats
Cogratulations!
Congratulations bro. stay focus okay
