Wezesha Education Foundation

Wezesha provides scholarships and mentoring to academically gifted, destitute young people to support their education from high school through university. In Swahili, Wezesha is the word for 'empower.' We aim to empower motivated young people to use their skills to help others and make a difference in their communities – to be the next generation of role models and leaders.

For $150 CAD a month, you can provide a full year of higher education, easing the strain on their family and giving the gift of hope for the future.

Millions of young people in Africa lack access to quality education. Education is one of the most effective ways to move families out of poverty and into a brighter future.

Speroway's Wezesha Education program empowers motivated and bright young people living in poverty who are high academic achievers but whose families cannot afford their education. We provide scholarships and support so that they can successfully complete their secondary and university education, developing their talents and aspirations.

We aim to empower motivated young people to use their skills to help others and make a difference in their communities – to be the next generation of role models and leaders.

Students selected for the program are bright, talented young people who are determined to use their education to benefit the lives of others. Through the program, young people will develop their leadership skills and use their education to improve the lives of others in their communities and country.
