Thank you for your support which has allowed USAP cohorts to operate in Malawi, Uganda and Zambia. The first Zambia cohort in 2017 successfully gained entry to high school programs at United World College campuses and African Leadership Academy. Two students from the Zambia Cohort also were accepted and funded to Wheaton College in Massachusetts and Kalamazoo College in Michigan.
We are happy with the progres that our USAP Malawi, Uganda and Zambia students are making with their applications to apply for 2019. As USAP Malawi alum Limbani Kambanga was awarded a Global Health Corps fellowship starting in July 2018, Agnes Wizi of Klesis Foundation has taken over the coordination of students' application process there. In Uganda, USAP alum Rebecca Rwakabukoza has been working hard with the students and brought all 8 of them to Zimbabwe for our application bootcamp in August. The 2018 USAP Zambia cohort, under the able direction of Jessica Clarkson, also attended both 2017 and 2018 bootcamps.
We are closing this Global project as the students submit their applications and thank you for your generous support. At Education Matters, we are now focusing our GlobalGiving campaign on building the USAP Community School through Project 35817.
We will continue to update you on the admissions successes of these students from Eastern and Southern Africa. They wouldn't make it without your suppot.
