“Sourcing finances has always been a huge concern, but with this help I have been able to focus on my studies much more effectively. One day I would like to open a clinic in Malawi and provide financial assistance to other students that are burdened by school fees."
Recheal Kanthonga
"I am finally able to concentrate on my education without having to stress about where to find money to pay back my tuition. After graduating, I would like to work to benefit rural communities, and without this support, then I likely could not have continued with my career path."
Meet the team!
