What Your Support Does

A tuition scholarship gets Matènwa grads into the university classroom—but it doesn't cover the cost of staying there. Your gift bridges the gap for:

  • Safe Housing: A stable home near the university on the mainland.
  • Daily Nutrition: Reliable meals so they can focus on exams, not hunger.
  • Essential Tools: Laptops, textbooks, and supplies for Nursing, Agronomy, and Veterinary Medicine.
  • Reliable Transport: Safe passage from Lagonav Island to their place of study.

Whether you give once or monthly, 100% of your gift goes directly to these students.
