Donations in response to our Spring newsletter are deeply appreciated, as Beth’s Girls need support for their second term in 2025. In addition to tuition and boarding, they are now facing increased costs for exam and certificate fees, short courses, research, and thesis projects. Many programs also include “practicals,” similar to internships, that come with their own expenses. As graduation nears, added costs for final certifications and ceremonies continue to accrue. Your support helps these young women finish strong and step into their futures with confidence and hope.
Visaka, for example, who is studying for a Bachelor’s of Medicine and Surgery, has just completed a rotation in radiology, dermatology, anesthesia, ophthalmology and ENT. She reports, “I wanted to let you know that my subspecialties rotation went well and I successfully obtained a merit in the rotations.”
Mutinta’s practicals in Electrical Technology were in Tanzania. In addition to travel expenses, she needed essential tools for the job — including a multimeter, wire strippers, insulated pliers, a voltage tester, cable cutters, hacksaws, electrical tape, and a safety knife. She reports, “The research was a success, and I was the best! Thank you for your kindness.”
Anipher’s research surveillance trips for her degree in Clinical Medicine were “very exciting because where we are going there are high cases of STIs and malaria. We are going to teach people how it can be prevented, health promotion, etc., and find out what is predisposing those provinces to such.” She adds, “We will be even assigned to go in water plants and see how they are treating the water due to high levels of diarrheal cases in children. As for the Southern Province, there is an outbreak of locusts in farms so we will be even going to those affected farms!” Anipher has written an “Introduction to Public Health Assignment.” She says, “I am going to present and teach others. Imagine, mum!”
EBZEF’s success depends on your kind and continuing support, which helps educate the Whole Girl and uplift her entire community on the other side of the world. Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our past, present, and future projects. Together, we're building lasting change — one girl, one village, one future at a time.
