Hi, I'm Devaki Douillard

Hi, I'm Devaki Douillard, the Mwebaza Foundation's Development Assistant. This year I'm returning to Africa to visit our partner schools in Uganda and Kenya. I'll be working on documentary interviews, scholarship programs, solar panel purchases, 2 new school building constructions, sustainable lunch programs and much more! Follow me on this journey from June 30th-July 26th.

The Mwebaza Foundation’s mission is to enrich the relationships among our Colorado and African partner schools through cross-cultural exchange and service learning that enhances educational opportunities, fosters a healthy learning environment, and promotes self-sufficiency.

Student Scholarship Interviews

My second day at St. Paul was consumed with scholarship interviews. Similarly to Mwebaza School, St. Paul has been allowing many students to attend school for free,which has made it difficult for the school to afford teacher salaries and other school expenses. Therefore, the scholarship applicants we were interviewing were already St. Paul students. Although now, through the scholarship program, the school will be receiving funds for 8 students who have been coming to school for free. Below are pictures of the eight students with their guardians that have received a full-ride scholarship for one year's tuition.
