THE Pan African Energy has offered scholarship to five students from Songosongo Island in Kilwa District. Among the five students, three will attend degree courses while two will pursue diploma studies.
Speaking to journalists yesterday, the
company’s Community Social Responsibility Manager, Andrew Kashangaki
said the scholarship for all students will cost 90m/- He added that
apart from the sponsorship offered to the five students, the company is
currently funding 40 students for secondary education from the island,
and the move has helped to boost parents morale of sending their
children to school.
Kashangaki added that this year his
company intended to sponsor 10 students for higher learning studies but
only the five students qualified for the scholarship.
He named the students who secured the
scholarship as Haji Naoda and Mwanaimani Falaki, who will both pursue
their Bachelor of Business Administration studies at University of
Dodoma, while Fahadi Likwena will join Mzumbe University in Morogoro for
a Bachelor degree in procurement.
Hussein Ibrahimu will join the National
Institute of Transportation (NIT) for a Diploma in Aircraft Maintenance
while Samiu Mohamed will attend the Mwalimu Nyerere Memorial University
for a Diploma in Community Development.
Speaking to the ‘Daily News,’ one of the
beneficiaries, Mwanaimani Falaki expressed her gratitude to the company
for the support in her studies. She said that she did not expect that
one day she will attend higher education, and promised to study hard and
return back to support her community.
