The WMF Malawi Bright Minds Scholarship Programme gives a once in a lifetime opportunity to children who are exceptionally bright but denied the opportunity of secondary education because they are from the poorest of families.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These children are from Nkhotakota district, one of the least developed regions<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

of Malawi\u2014itself one of the world\u2019s poorest nations. Their background is abject poverty\u2014perhaps just one pair of shoes for a family\u2014with their survival reliant on precarious subsistence farming, continually at risk from climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Your sponsorship enables qualifying students to attend a residential school with an established track record of providing high quality education. They won\u2019t need to travel for several hours between school and their distant, rural homes and can focus on their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our hope is for these sponsored children to go on to university. Competition is fierce and access cannot be guaranteed, but successful students will have the best chance to go on to find meaningful employment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Meet Lazarus, a previous recipient of the Bright Minds scholarship, who is now in his third year of medical school.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    \u201cThank you for your generosity and support. I promise to continue working hard and eventually give back to others both as a clinical officer and by providing scholarships to future students like myself<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
