The pioneers of MEWA having seen the declining educational performance of the Muslim students in the late 80’s resolved to establish intervention programme with one of them being supporting poor students accessing education in Secondary and Higher Institutes of learning. More than Kshs. 8,000,000 has so far been advanced to over 500 students to pursue degree and diploma courses in local Universities and colleges locally and abroad between the years 1986 and 2006. Most of these students are now working in different professional fields such as Medicine, Law, Engineering, Teaching etc. MEWA has also assisted over 800 poor but talented students Secondary students to pay their school fees thanks to the generosity of our well-wishers. The Association now seeks to create a revolving fund to sponsor students for degrees and postgraduate studies either locally or abroad. It also aims to solicit scholarships from Universities abroad and donors for our local needy but talented youth.
