Brand new school desks for students in rural Malawi.
International Grant$
We are proud to partner and serve with two global communities in Africa - The Sunshine Approach Foundation in Mozambique, and Pamoza International in rural Malawi. These nonprofit organizations are promoting social change to improve the lives of children and families living in extreme poverty.
Gifted Scholars is honored to offer annual financial grants and scholarships to support educational initiatives, allowing girls to fulfill their academic journeys, pursue higher education, and aspire towards a brighter future.
IMPACT
The Sunshine Approach Foundation creates families by placing widows and orphans together in a home. They provide for all their needs: financial, medical, clothing, tuition, and more!
Education is key for the children to escape poverty. Only 1% of the children in Mozambique who start grade 1 will graduate grade 12. The children are given a boost by being placed in a local private school.

The mission of Pamoza International is to share the Gospel and alleviate poverty and suffering through educational improvements, healthcare, economic empowerment, and food security.
