We support girls from Angola, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.
"The students I met at... [the primary and secondary schools] were very engaged, had dozens of questions for me, had a school assembly to say thank you to all of us and presented me with a drawing by one of the students... Most of the girls we support in this school come from Mathare, a section of Nairobi that is considered one of the largest slums in all of Africa. That the girls we support are in a boarding school about 90 km from Nairobi is a gift beyond what we can imagine."
- Jack Rathschmidt, on his 2016 trip
Dear AWEF,
I hope this letter finds all of you well you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to you all for all that you have done for me and other girls in Africa, especially in sending me to school and paying all my fees. I am truly blessed to a beneficiary of your charity and the cares. Your unwavering support since I joined form one and dedication to my education have been instrumental in shaping the person I am today. I am sure could not have made it this far without your help my dreams of becoming a doctor would have remained with me at Mathare slum but now with you paying my school fee and other requirement I believe with Gods Help I will realize them. As I reflect on my journey so far, I am filled with immense gratitude for all the sacrifices you have made to ensure that I receive the best education possible. Your hard work and sacrifices have not gone unnoticed, and I want you to know that I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me.
May God Grant every one of you all blessing in your lives
Sincerely
Mary Mutheu
"I begin by giving my humble greetings to the Dear Benefactors.
My name is Vilma Victor de Castro, I am 18 years old, and I am taking a general nursing course. I am writing this letter in order to thank you for the benefit you have provided me with, contributing to my academic training. I want to thank you for both the big and the small gestures you have made me. My deep gratitude goes to you who encourage me to go further and never fall into the temptation of giving up. However, giving thanks is the least we can do when someone improves our lives. Lastly, my objective is to repay you with my dedication to my studies.
My thanks go to all the members of the AWEF foundation who have done a lot for me and I will be grateful for the rest of my life. Finally, I want to thank you once again for this great blessing and for the strength you have given me to move forward."

"Dear Benefactor:
I come through this letter to thank you for the help that has been granted to me, for the scholarship which I have the opportunity to make use of. I am very grateful for it, because otherwise I would not have the opportunity to attend high school, given the difficulties in paying for school. I am a student of clinical analysis. I want to always recognize you for all that you do.
My thanks for all that you have given me. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude.
Thank you, Joana Luvombo Job."

"Dear Benefactors:
Angélica Câmia Yambi is speaking to you here. I come through this means to thank you once again for the money that is helping me and helping the other sisters in the African continent.
I sincerely thank you knowing that you struggle day and night to work to help our African continent, especially we Angolans. Because it is not easy with this pandemic that has affected everyone on the continent, because some of our sisters, benefactors, relatives and friends died in this pandemic and many of us cried and so many of you cried.
I thank you for everything you have done for me and for us. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you for the scholarship. May the Lord enlighten you in this journey. Amen."
