Mercy en route to Germany

Mercy is an inspiring, ambitious, bright young lady, who was born with a spinal condition known as kyphosis or hunchback. She is academically an above average student who managed to obtain 7 points at grade 12. Her mother passed away a few years ago, while her father has never been present in her life. MWAZ heard about Mercy’s plea for financial aid and sponsorship to pursue her Medical Degree. MWAZ has assisted Mercy and her grandfather by providing her with the tools to make and sell keychains, for there upkeep. MWAZ has also facilitated their integration into the National Zambian Social Cash Transfer List. Another organisation has since come on board and has pledged full sponsorship for Mercy to study medicine.

Through that, an NGO working in Zambia heard about her story and moved in to provide her with a scholarship to study medicine in Germany. She has been learning German and has passed with flying colours, scoring second place amongst other students in the entire African continent. She will be based at the University of Hamburg. With the skills Mercy has acquired, she has continued to make key holders and bracelets which she sells to raise funds for her daily needs. Through the Ministry of Science and Technology.

MWAZ has played a major role in helping her source funds which will assist her as she makes her travel preparations to Germany. “I am very happy and delighted to be given the opportunity to study in Germany and hope to do my best. Dreams do come true.” She said, in a recent interview. She hopes to specialize in paediatrics.
