“How sustainable is this community development project?” This is an important question we ask our Scholars who are applying for funding through the Community Development Grants (CDG) program. We want to ensure that the impact of the awarded project is not only felt but sustained after the first year of implementation. This way, we continue to connect our Graduate Scholars to their communities in a positive way. The CDG Program is one of the many ways we support our Graduate Scholars after graduation.

I am happy to see this huge number of scholars. I encourage 'em to double their efforts and continue spirit of commitement. Thank WMI administration and donors for this role.

It always feels encouraging and comforting to see good works been done such as these. Giving hope to a child who once thought it can not be done. Congratulations to Wells Mountain Initiative class of 2024. The future will never be the same.

Thank you for showcasing the impact of Liftup Community Initiative. Your support means a lot to me and the beneficiaries of our program.🙏
