Empowering a continent by creating better livelihoods through education.
The Wings to Fly scholarship program, an initiative of the Equity Group and Mastercard Foundation (MCF), was established to support secondary education for top performing children from financially challenged backgrounds. With support from other partners, the program offers access to leadership training to previously marginalized children in all counties.
The program offers comprehensive support for the scholars through provision of tuition fees, accommodation, books, uniform, shopping, pocket money and transport to and from school during their 4 years of secondary education. It has so far supported 60,009 bright but economically challenged scholars. MCF has so far committed to support 10,000 scholars through two phases of funding with the last intake joining the program in 2021.
If you are currently navigating the choppy waters of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) N3 level, you have likely heard a whisper in the study community: “Sou Matome is essential.”
: The book is organized into six chapters, with each week focusing on a specific theme (e.g., advertisements, notices, letters).
The final weeks simulate the real exam. You will read a 1-page story (often a diary or personal essay) and a complex diagram (like a train timetable or store return policy).
