Uwezo Wetu Foundation's Adopt-a-Student Program aims to match financially challenged, at-risk and homeless students with donors who are interested in helping these disadvantaged students attend their institution and achieve their academic dreams. Adopt-a-Student allows us the ability to make a big difference in individual students’ lives with minimal company resources invested. With minimal overhead, Adopt-A-Student gifts, dollar-for-dollar, have a greater direct impact on a student’s life than most any scholarship program today.

After students apply for “adoption” they are listed for donors to search. Upon being selected for “adoption” the student is notified and the donor will be given progress reports during the academic year. Donors feel the direct impact their gift has when directed to a specific student, knowing that it could be the life line that made the difference in completing their education and achieving their career aspirations.
