The Mzikubola Best Students Scholarship Fund supports top-performing primary and Community Day Secondary School students who face financial hardship.
One of its proudest stories is Mirriam Zgambo, a rural student who was saved from early marriage. BMT sponsored her studies at the University of Livingstonia, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Mathematics and Chemistry with distinction.
Her journey shows what is possible when a community refuses to let poverty decide a child's future, especially for girls.
