Studiebeurzen

Het belangrijkste doel van de stichting is mensen ondersteunen in hun eigen ontwikkeling. Een zeer belangrijke bouwsteen om de eigen ontwikkeling mogelijk te maken en de horizon te verbreden is het volgen van onderwijs. Onderwijs in Malawi is beperkt toegankelijk voor Malawiers. Basis onderwijs is weliswaar gratis, maar niet verplicht en middelbaar onderwijs moet altijd voor betaald worden door (de familie van) de scholier. Hierdoor is middelbaar onderwijs voor velen niet bereikbaar.

Onze stichting wilt middelbaar onderwijs mogelijk maken voor gemotiveerde meisjes uit de dorpen van de regio Chikwawa, wiens familie dit zelf niet kan bekostigen. Hieronder een overzicht van de meiden die momenteel een studiebeurs van ons krijgen.

UPDATE studenten (01-2025)

Nu het nieuwe jaar weer begonnen is hebben we weer een update van de huidige beurs ontvangers via een brief van ons contact Chris Moyo. Ze gaan een belangrijke tijd tegenmoet. Binnenkort moeten ze de nationale examens maken. Dus we wensen ze veel succes.

Hello,

2025 is treating us fine here so far. How ‘s the family that side?

I managed to talk to the parents of our scholarship girls. Yankho, Grace, Mwaiwawo , Mary and Alinafe. I couldn’t get through to Martha’s parents due to connectivity issues. All of them are in good shape and are ready to run a critical phase before writing National exams. The parents continue to thank the Foundation for the assistance it provides to their wards.

I had a chance to talk to some girls especially Grace and Yankho. They assured me that they are comfortable at their new school, Phwadzi. They both promised to work very hard to pass their exams. I encouraged them and assured them of a continuation of scholarship as well as my availability so that they should not feel excluded. I reiterated that I will pay them a visit in the course of the second term.

De scholen zijn weer begonnen

Laat september is het school jaar op Saint Lawrence catholic secondaire school weer begonnen. Dit jaar is begonnen met goed maar ook minder goed nieuws. Eerst het goede: Mwaiwawo Matias, Alinafe Makosa, en Martha Macford zijn allemaal gestart aan een nieuw jaar aan Saint Lawrence. Omdat we vorig jaar meer dan onze normale vier beurzen op ons hadden genomen moesten moeilijke beslissingen genomen worden. De ouders van Yankho Siliya en Grace Paul konden niet half van het school geld van Saint Lawrence betalen en daarom is na lang overleg besloten om Yankho Siliya en Grace Paul aan het volgende jaar bij Phwadzi community day secondary school te laten beginnen, een dicht bij gelegen school.

Het minder goede nieuws is dat Chisoma Zwaque niet is overgegaan naar de laatste klas en gezien dit de tweede keer is mag ze niet op Saint Lawrence blijven. Ondanks het vroege einde hopen we dat Chisoma blij kan terug denken aan haar tijd op Saint Lawrence en veel heeft geleerd.

We wensen iedereen veel succes.

Letter from Doreen

Dear Dr Nilwik.

I hope this email finds you well.

With this piece of writing, I would like to sincerely thank you for your generous support of my educational efforts.

Your commitment to my academic success is greatly appreciated and has had a profound impact on my path. In the last academic year, I worked diligently on my studies and achieved considerable academic success. Additionally, I actively participated in extracurricular activities that promoted personal growth, skill development, and community involvement. These enriching experiences have significantly improved my academic and interpersonal skills.

As we move forward, I kindly ask you for your continued financial support to cover my tuition fees this new academic year. This support is crucial to ensure uninterrupted academic progress and to enable me to fully engage in academic and extracurricular activities in my current class, third year. Your contribution has been instrumental in shaping my academic career. Your trust in my potential and your investment in my education have encouraged me to pursue my goals with confidence and determination.

I am deeply grateful for your trust and support. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to my educational success.

Sincerely,

Doreen Kapusa

Hey,

I have written this letter in order to inform you together with my sponsors how my education at University of Malawi is going.

The School was opened at 07 August, 2022, during the first week it was the week for orientations, this week we were being shown the campus and we were told to make ourselves friendly to the new environment, since the University of Malawi has turned to be my home of education.

The University of Malawi has not enough place to accommodate it’ students only about one thousand students out of eight thousand students which the University have as of now stay in the campus. I stay to a certain village which is close to the University of Malawi. This village is full of students who are pursuing their education at University of Malawi (UNIMA).

In terms of my education, everything is quite good and working hard so that I can get good grades. This semester the school will be closed at 16 December, 2022. As of now being a first year student am taking five courses in my program of Bachelor of Education in Mathematics. These five courses are: physics, chemistry, computer, language, and Mathematics.

Yours sincerely

Doreen Kapusa

Lonjeza silviya (2014-2019)

Lonjeza Silviya was a student on Saint Lawrence Secundary School who graduated last year.

She had the possibility to go because of the scolarships that she's been given for the last two years. Also her third en fourth year the foundation provided for her study fees.

We just received a recent message from her:

"Hi how are you and your family? As for me I am good. I want to thank you for your visit at St Lawrence because many things changed. For example, the administration was painted, the guards and the chefs were given uniforms because of you, the hostels looked neat because we brushed the walls. All of these things were done ebcause of your coming and on behalf of all the students. Lastly I just wanted to tell that you should come soon again. God bless you, Lonjeza"
