Since he joined the scholarships program, Kafwimbi has had a remarkable performance, being top of his class since grade 7. He just got his high school diploma (summa cm laude), again with top score for his entire school, IMA Kafubu High School. We are hoping that he will pursue his college studies, while facing some medical challenges.

Sharing a moment of great achievement with Momat, one of the earliest Waza scholars, who joined the Waza Scholarships program in early 2009. Momat has gone through a bit of tumultuous journey, during which he dropped out twice. We are glad he has achieved his highest college degree. Momat defended his work on July 08th. He is waiting for the commencement, coming soon. Congratulations!
