More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Each AGE scholar has overcome hardships to excel in school and earn a place in the AGE program. AGE pays for school-related fees and mentoring support. At times our scholars are recognized with educational opportunities outside of our immediate program such as attending summer school. Help AGE support them in these worthy endeavours and pay associated fees which can include transportation, housing, processing/VISA fees, supplies, etc.
Activities
Many special opportunities are becoming available to our scholars, both in Malawi and the United States. Camps, retreats, and summer school experiences add to academic and social growth, as well as expanding exposure to new possibilities.
Funding Information

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Special programs will give a deserving scholar an unparalleled educational experience and open her eyes to new possibilities. Each activity will increase individual confidence and help create a role model who imparts her learning to classmates.
Project Message
Upon hearing the news of going to Phillips Exeter I was more excited than ever before and I pray that nothing should disturb this journey. That is when I realised that my dreams are coming true.
