OUR Solution
From Scholarships to Scholars
We no longer just enable education, we provide it!
Obstacles Facing Malawi’s Youth
Unstable Economic Conditions
With an average daily income of just $1.70/day (or $630/year), Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. More than 15 million people live in extreme poverty.
Cultural PRESSURE
When education is not an option, the pressure to marry young is extremely high. By the time a young girl turns 18, 46% are already married and have started a family.
Education Crisis
Severe overcrowding, lack of supplies & technology, high-cost of secondary school & university, and insufficient resources prevent quality education in public schools.
It’s easy for us to reimagine what Malawi could look like when the cycle of poverty is broken through access to Christ-centered education.
Can YOU see it?
Scholarships for Accessible Education
The Good Soil Scholarship Program
Education is a long-term investment requiring a strong commitment from the student. To receive a Good Soil Partners scholarship, we have created a rigorous application process that helps us find students who are truly dedicated to completing their education.
Each prospecting applicant has several personal interviews in addition to interviews with their parents/caretakers. Applicants must submit an essay and sign a behavioral agreement that outlines our expectations. The success rate of graduating secondary and college students has increased significantly because of the high standard for our scholarship recipients.
What Our Scholarship Fund Provides
Every dollar donated to our scholarship fund goes toward tuition and room and board for eligible students. Our scholarship students receive the same access to all the services and programs offered by Good Soil Academy.
Access to education is an offensive weapon against poverty. A strong education gives families the opportunity to earn an income, experience food security, feel empowered to dream big, and create flourishing communities!
You have changed my life!
“My Dream has always been to be an agent of change, in my family as well as my community. Now that I am working, I manage to pay school fees for my younger sister, as well as support the rest of my family. I’d like to be their refuge in their times of need.”
