Relief & Aid Intl Scholarship Beneficiaries Graduate in Nursing, Midwifery and other Tertiary Programmes

Several young people have successfully completed training in nursing, midwifery and other tertiary programmes after benefiting from a fully funded scholarship initiative implemented by Relief and Aid International (RAI), a foundation established by humanitarian advocate Peggy Naa Ayikailey Adamafio.

The beneficiaries, who graduated in December 2025 and early 2026, are expected to contribute to Ghana’s healthcare system and broader national development through their various professional fields.

The scholarship programme, which focuses on human capital development, provides comprehensive support including tuition, accommodation, learning materials and stipends. This support enables beneficiaries to concentrate fully on their academic work without financial constraints.

Out of 46 beneficiaries supported under the scheme, seven out of 18 nursing-related students and four students enrolled in four-year university programmes have successfully completed their studies to date.

With their training completed, the beneficiaries are expected to serve in health facilities and professional institutions across the country, supporting improved maternal care, public health services and general service delivery.

Relief and Aid International has further indicated that under the leadership of Peggy Naa Ayikailey Adamafio, the foundation remains committed to sustaining the scholarship programme and expanding support to more students from disadvantaged backgrounds in education, healthcare and social development.
