Scholarship Administrators

At the local level, volunteer program administrators have always been the backbone of our scholarship program. Until now, this management has been the responsibility fo two orders of Catholic nuns.  The first, the Comboni Missionary Society, steered operations from 2006 to 2018. providing fearless and energetic young nuns to coordinate the scholarships.  When Combonii had to move its operations out of Uganda, the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, based in Moyo, Uganda, stepped in without hesitation to replace them

It is impossible to overstate how important these competent, dedicated Sisters have been in the Foundation’s success. Since 2006, the Wai Foundation has had the pleasure of working with four Scholarship administrators, under whose influence we have been able to grow our network of host schools, expand our funding area and increase the scope of our Scholarship Program to also benefit students in tertiary education. Our Scholarship Administrators act as liaisons between the students, their parents and the Foundation’s Board of Directors; striving to empower the Foundation’s scholarship recipients while serving as mentors.

We give thanks to the past Scholarship Program Administrators as they remain a valuable part of the Wai Foundation family.
