111 young women across Malawi are beginning the new school year at university. Among them is Mary, entering her third year of Food Science—stepping onto a path her parents could only dream of, having never completed primary school themselves.

Last term, severe farm losses forced Mary to survive on just one meal a day. Today, she returns to campus supported by a full MBB scholarship, stipend, and laptop to bring her degree within reach.

"We never imagined that Mary would have a scholarship and stipend, let alone a laptop to complete her studies. This is a gift from God." — Mary’s Mother.

Imagine being 13 years old and leaving your mother, your siblings, and your country because you believe you’ll have a better chance of going to school in a refugee camp.

Read Elizabeth’s story: https://www.mercybeyondborders.org/meet-our-scholars/elizabeth-reja-lege-kakuma-refugee-camp-in-kenya-enrolled-in-2023

After Elizabeth’s father died, her mother could no longer support all six children. So Elizabeth and one of her sisters left home to live with their aunt in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp.

We’re now 58% toward our $125,000 goal, which will fund a portion of the tuition and wrap-around support nearly 300 Scholars across East Africa need this coming academic year.

One of those Scholars is Seida in South Sudan. Seida is the first in her family to continue beyond primary school.

Your gift today can keep determined young women like Seida in school and moving toward graduation. Will you join us in closing the gap?

Educating a woman certainly changes the trajectory of her life and the lives of her children. But would you believe that education can also flow backward, restoring dignity to previous generations?

When Deborah received an MBB scholarship to study nursing in South Sudan, her grandmother proudly declared:

“Now that my granddaughter is becoming an important person in this village, that makes me an important person, too. And when I die, I will have a box.”

A coffin was an honor traditionally reserved for the village chief. Deborah’s education had elevated her grandmother’s standing, too.

Today, Deborah is a respected nurse serving near her home village and an active MBB alumna.

When a woman is educated, her whole community rises.

Last month, nearly 100 girls at St. Bakhita Girls Primary School in South Sudan participated in a three-day trauma-healing workshop. Many are “Champion Girls” who courageously escaped forced marriages.

Together, they learned to recognize trauma, manage triggers and begin healing through movement, reflection and connection.

As one girl shared, “I learned that I am better than what happened to me.”

Your support makes this vital work possible. Thank you.
