Empowering a continent by creating better livelihoods through education.
The Wings to Fly scholarship program, an initiative of the Equity Group and Mastercard Foundation (MCF), was established to support secondary education for top performing children from financially challenged backgrounds. With support from other partners, the program offers access to leadership training to previously marginalized children in all counties.
The program offers comprehensive support for the scholars through provision of tuition fees, accommodation, books, uniform, shopping, pocket money and transport to and from school during their 4 years of secondary education. It has so far supported 60,009 bright but economically challenged scholars. MCF has so far committed to support 10,000 scholars through two phases of funding with the last intake joining the program in 2021.
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter is a masterpiece of “quiet fantasy.” It explores loneliness, the nature of reality, and how art gives meaning to suffering. If you loved Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) or The Midnight Library , this book will haunt you in the best way.

Excellent for cross-platform readers.
The story centers on two protagonists from vastly different environments:
"Yumi and the Nightmare Painter" is a standalone fantasy novella by Brandon Sanderson, set in the world of Taldain, which is also the setting for his "White Sand" series. The story follows Yumi, a young "skye" who lives on a planet where the skies are inhabited by sentient, magical beings known as "skies." These skies have the power to control the weather and are often at odds with the native inhabitants of the planet.
Released as part of Sanderson’s record-breaking 2023 Kickstarter campaign, Yumi and the Nightmare Painter stands apart from the action-heavy epics of The Stormlight Archive . Instead, it offers a deeply personal, anime-inspired romance set against a backdrop of spirits, light, and memory.
