In September, Davidetta informed us that she received official acceptance to the University of Ghana School of Graduate Studies in Accra, where she will pursue a master’s degree in social work.

This December, Kazeneza completed her first year of studies at the University of Kigali. She worked and studied with diligence, particularly during the challenges of the pandemic.

She finished with a “B” average. She is thrilled to begin her second year of studies.

As of our December board meeting, WEI has approved funds to support Kaze return to school. She will be attending the University of Kigali starting March 21, 2020 to complete her Bachelor’s degree in Information and Technology. This is a two-year program.

We are so happy to announce that Davidetta has completed her bachelor’s degree in social work at Mother Patern College of Health Sciences in Monrovia, Liberia! Over the course of her education, she also completed an internship at a hospital as an intern social worker.

It has always been clear that Kaze’s Advanced (A1) Diploma was a bridge to the next phase of her education. Since graduating from Integrated Polytechnic Regional College in May, she has been volunteering at the Rwanda Education Board and waiting for more funds so that she can apply to the Adventist University of Central Africa (AUCA) in Kigali, Rwanda.

We took some time recently to reach out to our past and current scholarship recipients to see how they are doing with their education, and in general with COVID-19. Below is an update from Michelle about where she is at in her studies:

We are thrilled to announce that Kaze has graduated from IPRC Rwanda with a degree in electronics and electrical engineering.

We received an update from Kaze— she just completed her summer internship at Rwanda Broadcasting Agency. Kaze is returning to school at Integrated Polytechnic Regional College in Kigali, Rwanda in the fall, and will be graduating in October of this year

Leah has earned her Masters in Education at Southern Capital College in Oroquieta City, Philippines.

We found Kaze through Nicole, one of my students at Allegheny College in PA. Nicole met Kaze during a study abroad program, and has set up a GoFundMe to help Kaze finish her studies. When the GoFundMe didn’t generate enough money to support the rest of her education, we decided to help fund the her continued studies at Integrated Polytechnic Regional College.
