![]() Educational ProgramsUS Scholarship StudentsA central element of our plan to equip African children to become leaders in their own societies involves giving them an education that goes far beyond what they typically receive at home. Through our U.S. scholarship program, we identify some of Africa's most talented students and enroll them in a stateside university. This substantial investment allows these individuals to grow personally while attaining important job and life skills - which they can then use to contribute to the development of their home country.
Our ScholarsSarah Mbabazi After finishing high school in Uganda, I had the opportunity to come to the United States to continue my education. I graduated in December, 2007 from University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas with a degree in Child and Adolescence Psychology. I look forward to what lies ahead.

Now I attend the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas where I serve on the Student Government, I'm a Student Ambassador, and I am the President of the International Students. I am studying Childhood Development in Education so that after the completion of my education I am able to go back to Uganda to help other children.
