My Nonprofit Reviews

Reliable. That is how I would describe Educational Pathways International, EPI. EPI was there for me when I needed help financing my education at the university of Ghana business school. EPI provided for me financially in all areas of my education, the Lafrances basically took an interest in my wellbeing. Educational Pathways International has been an umbrella to shelter me from some major storms in my life, and a rock i can lean on.

The scholarship enabled me to stay comfortably in school and concentrate on gaining knowledge to better the world around me. I also gained a new set of friends who were always there for me. I remember when the programme coordinator during my time in school would call me and my friends, also on the scheme, to teach us some valuable life skills not taught in the classroom. She would also speak to me about relationships, ask about my family and put her romantic novels at my disposal.

I felt that Sara and Leonard Lafrance believed in me and expected great and admirable things from me; it was one of my greatest sources of motivation. It made me gain confidence in myself and my abilities and, opened my eyes to the great things I could do for myself and the people around me. I still feel same.

It has been two years since I completed my undergraduate degree in Banking and Finance, but EPI still has an interest in my life. The EPI family shared in my joy when I secured a position in a reputable bank in the country after my graduation, and continue to do so as I climb the corporate ladder and transform into a matured and wise woman. I believe that EPI will be with me in every step of the way, in all areas of my life cheering me on and supporting me.

I gained a new family when I went looking for financial assistance. EPI is family.

I strongly recommend EPI to any awarding organization; EPI and the Lafrances are a gift to mankind.
