Your support will help make a real difference to some Southern African communities through helping to fund a number of postgraduate scholars on short professional courses through the Southern African Scholarship Fund. The university gives fee waivers on courses and free accommodation for scholars. And the fund covers all logistical costs including flights, food, a clothing budget (for the different climate) and other living expenses.

 

The scholarship has recently been supporting medical students and nurses from Zambia. Two Zambian nurse educators attended a three-month critical care module at the university in 2009 and subsequently developed an Intensive Care course which they are now teaching at the Lusaka Nursing School to 20 nurses a year from Zambia. This small but effective initiative will ensure that where there was only one intensive care nurse in a country of nearly 12 million people, now there are nurses all over Zambia specialising in this important area of nursing. So you can see how the money raised ensures real positive changes to those who need it most.
