Fundraising Milestone: Help Us Launch WISE

“Our target is to raise $50,000 to launch the pilot phase of WISE. This will fund 2–3 bright, deserving students for one semester abroad — fully supported with travel, living, academic, and program-related costs. This first cohort will lay the foundation for building credibility, collecting impact stories, and forming long-term institutional partnerships.”
