Below are our top 10 students from 2014.
|
Kabelo MakotokoFrom: Lesotho
Hopes to study: Business, Economics, Accounting Accepted to: Berea College "Many Basotho lack education and hence are not able to develop real business ideas. This gives foreigners the opportunity to take over what belongs to us. I want the Basotho people to be able to create their own solutions. The only way they can do that is through education."

Aisha ShahbazFrom: Namibia
Hopes to study: Forensic Science Accepted to: St. Johns College "As a girl, fighting for higher education, I understand that women are especially impacted. As a result, many girls cannot pursue their dreams, which continues the slow progress on Africa. I would like to represent the generation of African girls who are exceptions to this."

Sara TilahunFrom: Ethiopia
Hopes to study: Medicine (Pediatrics) "Many women are repressed due to different malpractices in Ethiopia. Hence, they should be given special treatment and privilege to learn. They should be provided with learning facilities and encouragement. Women should have a valuable place in the community. They should be empowered so they can contribute to their country."

|
Thato LehasaFrom: Lesotho
Hopes to study: Nursing "I believe that just because I was born in a poor family, is no reason for me to die poor. It is not too late for us to mend. There is still room for me to change this situation. I will take responsibility to change our future for the better."

Nice NigatuFrom: Ethiopia
Hopes to study: Physiology, Medicine "Many times in Africa people think a woman gets a fistula because God sent it to her because she sinned. This is not true. I want to teach them how fistulas actually happen. When less women get fistulas more of them can work and become equal to men, then all people in Africa can help solve its problems."
|
|
Sampa MuliyundaFrom: Zambia
Hopes to study: Nursing, Health Studies "Poor people must never be made to feel that quality healthcare is only for the rich. A continent cannot develop when its people who are supposed to drive the needed development in the various sectors are hurdled with the challenge of disease."
|
|
Mary AkahFrom: Cameroon
Hopes to study: Banking & Finance "I wish I had somebody who could see me through my educational needs. I wish I had a good country who could offer scholarships to the poor and needy, a country that takes the needs of the poor as their utmost priority."
|
|
Sakhile NdzimandzeFrom: Swaziland
Hopes to study: Dental "I will use my skill to help people from my country, thus improving the continent of Africa."
|
|
Ofelia VascoFrom: Mozambique
Hopes to study: Logistics "I believe in women's competence and that we can help to develop her skills and not leave them to be vulnerable, and that for women to acquire self confidence will improve the performance and help to develop society."

Your donations helped give these students the opportunity they deserved, and a chance to make a better life for themselves, their families, and their communities. Thank you!
