KEEP

Kabudula Education & Empowerment Project (KEEP) was a collaboration between Minga and World Altering Medicine (WAM) to help create a brighter future for the motivated youth at Kabudula Secondary School in Kabudula, Malawi.

Project Overview

In early 2013, a library funded by Minga was completed at the Kabudula Secondary School. Following its construction, the Malawian Ministry of Education provided a large supply of textbooks and science lab equipment. Not only could students now check out books to read at home for the first time, the library also provided a safe, supportive after-school study space for students, particularly girls. Minga helped WAM support scholarships per year for 30 girls and orphans currently attending the school. In the fall of 2013, Minga agreed to fund an additional 10 scholarships to further expand the number of at-risk youth who are able to obtain a high school education. And during the 2013-2014 school year, Minga aims to further improve the quality of education by funding teacher trainings.

In addition to financial support, Minga provided WAM with technical assistance to strengthen community engagement in the project, develop evaluation measures for determining project success, and ensure that the most vulnerable students get the tutoring support they need to succeed on national exams and realize their dreams of attending university. In the Fall of 2013, the region’s first student to do well enough on the national exams enrolled at university and studied to become a teacher.
