Together we can.

Let's lift each other up and help overcome gender inequity and give more young women the chance they deserve to study and be the change they want to see in their communities.

Join us as we celebrate our history and look to the future - marking our 10 year anniversary, we are raising funds to secure and offer 10 new scholarships in Malawi in 2027. Will you join us?

Meet Elias Mwangi, a Watipa Alumni Coordinator and Civil Engineer, whose journey reflects growth, leadership, and purpose. Through his role, Elias has not only contributed to strengthening the alumni network but has also experienced a deeply fulfilling and rewarding path shaped by connection and impact.

Being an Alumni Coordinator has given Elias the opportunity to actively engage with scholars and alumni across different backgrounds, fostering meaningful relationships and creating spaces for collaboration and growth. From organizing impactful sessions to maintaining consistent communication with the alumni community, his role has been centered on building a strong, supportive network.

Elias' professional background in engineering has complemented his coordination role-bringing structure, leadership, and ex*****on into every initiative. Whether on-site leading teams or behind the scenes coordinating programs,
he has developed a deeper sense of responsibility, communication, and influence.

“Serving as an Alumni Coordinator has been both fulfilling and transformative. It has allowed me to engage with incredible individuals, contribute to their journeys, and grow as a leader myself. Watipa has given me a platform not just to serve, but to evolve-personally and professionally."

Through this journey, Elias has strengthened his ability to lead, connect, and inspire.
His experience stands as a testament to the power of engagement, mentorship, and community.

Meet Lydia Pakirha, Watipa's Scholarship and Alumni Coordinator in Malawi

Lydia is multi-talented and is a devoted leader whose life was transformed by the Watipa Scholarship program.

Lydia is a Nutritionist who aspires to promote good health and wellbeing through good nutrition for all people. Lydia is dedicated in helping individuals achieve optimal health through good nutrition and workable dietary strategies. Her work involves community sensitization and engagement in behaviour change programs that aim at improving lives and well-being for all people. Lydia benefited from a Watipa scholarship awarded in 2017.

"When I reflect on my journey, I give credit to Watipa for helping bringing out the person I am today, and it continues to bring out the best of me even now. Watipa did not only support me financially but the mentorship, networking, and leadership opportunities that Watipa offers, has shaped me into a confident leader I am today. I am happy to be part of Watipa which has so much impact in various dimensions of my life. Watipa continues to help me pursue my dreams and I remain committed to paying it forward."

Lydia’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact of investing in young leaders.

"Together, we can create a ripple effect of change, uplifting communities and inspiring future generations."

If you have some spare change at the end of this financial year (EOFY), please consider donation to Watipa. We have an ambitious goal of awarding 10 new scholarships this year in honour of our 10th anniversary! We are also developing more offerings beyond scholarships to sustain social impact leadership after graduation for those in Watipa's programs. Every little bit helps - and we'd love one off or recurring donations (for as little as the cost of a take away coffee once a week, we could almost fund a scholarship in Malawi for one year!).
