Why I need the iSTEPup Foundation 

Growing up without my parents has been the biggest challenge of my life. Their loss left me with emotional pain and also a heavy responsibility to support my siblings while trying to follow my dream. Even though I have always worked hard in school, financial struggles have constantly threatened my education. Many times I faced the fear of stopping school simply because I could not afford fees, transport, or basic needs.

The ISTEPup Scholarship came as my only hope to continue my studies in Nursing and Midwifery. This support means more than money ,  it is a lifeline that keeps my dream alive. I want to become a compassionate healthcare professional who serves the community with dedication, especially because of everything I have gone through.

How Excited and Grateful I Am

Being selected for the ISTEPup Scholarship is one of the happiest moments of my life. It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I finally see a clear path to finish my studies without fear of interruptions.

I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. It gives me courage, hope, and strength to keep working hard. Thank you for believing in me and for making my dream possible

Rebecca Dice, lecturer nursing-midwifery Malamulo College of Health Sciene,

I, Rebecca Dice, am a lecturer for the nursing-midwifery department of Malamulo College of Health Science in Malawi.  I am an American-trained certified nurse-midwife (CNM) with a Master of Science in nursing (MSN).
I was approached by my student Funny Nyomborowa as she seeks to fund her nursing education.  Local economics have been very difficult as the currency value drops, so I was not surprised by her request.   I was impressed by her initiative and to learn how she has persevered in spite losing both her parents and feeling responsible to also educate her siblings.  Despite the hardship she is maintaining good marks and I observe that she is also an active leader in her class.  I feel that iStepUp can be confident in their investment in Funny.
