Dunstan Wai Memorial Charitable

The Dunstan Wai Memorial Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities for girls and young women in East Africa, specifically South Sudan and Northern Uganda. For over 17 years, the foundation has been granting scholarships to local secondary and tertiary schools, enabling girls to pursue careers in various fields such as nursing, teaching, project management, and more. With a focus on addressing the gender disparity in school enrollment, the foundation aims to empower girls and build a better future for them.

Founded in 2005 in memory of Dunstan Wai, a former World Bank staff member, the foundation operates in South Sudan and Northern Uganda, where Dunstan had been a refugee. Through generous donations, the foundation supports the dreams and educational ambitions of girls in developing nations, providing them with a lifeline and enhancing their life skills through workshops and mentorship. Additionally, the foundation bridges the gap by providing necessities to girls who cannot afford to attend school and empowers secondary school graduates through tertiary scholarships and short-term skill courses. With a strong commitment to education and empowerment, the Dunstan Wai Foundation is making a significant impact in the lives of girls in East Africa.
