FR. angelo d'agostino scholarship fund
In 2018, Nyumbani-USA established the Fr. Angelo D'Agostino Scholarship Fund. With initial funds provided by several generous donors, Nyumbani-USA seeks to grow the scholarship fund so that we can assist graduates of the Nyumbani Children's Home to reach their full potential by giving them access to quality post-secondary education opportunities.
Nyumbani-USA seeks to start granting scholarships in 2024.
