Tanzanian
Scholarships Make a World of Difference
 Just a few years
ago, Devotha Mhalwike was a village girl whose one living parent was
unable to pay the fees for her secondary education. Without an
education, her future held little hope--subsistence farming, a daily
struggle to provide water, food and the necessities of life.
But Devotha had
been a bright student in primary school, and she earned a scholarship
for her secondary studies through the partnership SOTV shares with
Tungamalenga Parish in
Tanzania.
She completed four years of secondary school, studied community
development at
Rungemba
College,
and now she is working as a data clerk at the government health center
at Idodi. She is optimistic about her future, and she wants to thank
Shepherd of the Valley members who support the Tanzanian Scholarship
Program.
Devotha and dozens
like her have had their lives changed by your generous scholarship
support.
SOTV provides 125
secondary scholarships--many to students who have been orphaned by AIDS,
malaria, or tuberculosis. In addition, SOTV supports 6 theology students
attending
Tumaini
University;
as well as six other college students in community development,
medicine, nursing, and technology. Secondary scholarships provide
tuition, room and board at a cost of $360 per year; university
scholarships vary in cost from $2,000 to $3,500.
Donations to the
scholarship fund can be made at any time, in any amount. Please make
checks payable to SOTV with "TZ Scholarship" in the memo. Questions?
