When Shanitah Naigaga's father died six years ago, she was left hopeless as her struggling single mother could not continue to raise tuition. Luckily, in 2019, a friend told her about the Madhvani scholarship programme when she was on the verge of dropping out after completing her First Year at Kyambogo University. Naigaga immediately rushed to the Madhvani Foundation website and applied for a scholarship. In a few months, she was called for interviews. Naigaga was short-listed and awarded a scholarship that enabled her to continue with her bachelor of science in technology and chemistry degree. "The Madhvani Foundation changed my life forever. It restored my hope and I was able to complete my course last year. Today, I am an employed chemist who can support my family," she revealed.
