Scholarships for Third-Level Education

Opening Doors to a Brighter Future

At Chifundo Foundation, we believe that education is the key to lasting change. Having successfully completed their second-level studies, many of our students are ready and eager to continue to university or vocational college. Yet without financial support, higher education would remain beyond their reach.

Through the generosity of Chifundo’s sponsors, we are helping these bright young minds take the next step - unlocking futures filled with promise, purpose, and independence.

Why become a sponsor?

By sponsoring a third-level student, you are investing directly in a young person’s future and in the long-term development of their community. Your support enables a Chifundo graduate to:

Continue their education at an accredited university or technical college.
Gain valuable skills and qualifications that lead to employment and self-sufficiency.
Become a role model and change-maker within their family, community and for future generations to come.
In 2024, we proudly celebrated our first college graduate - a powerful milestone for Chifundo and a testament to the life-changing impact of our sponsors. With your help, many more will follow in their footsteps.

“It is wonderful for all these children to see, and say one day I could be like Davie”

“I may only make a small mark on these children’s lives, but they have improved mine significantly. I hope that I have developed their levels of confidence and instilled in them a belief that there is no difference between themselves and the pupils that I teach in England in terms of their potential and their ability to thrive in the upcoming years."
