The Family Copeland Foundation was established in May 2014 to provide support to the students, teachers, and administrators of St. Mary’s Midwifery Training School in Kalongo, Uganda, in the form of educational scholarships, facility improvements, teaching aids as well as promotion of the school itself. Holly and Bill Copeland’s service in the Peace Corps at St. Mary’s inspired them to create the foundation. All donations-100%- go directly to St. Mary’s as the Copeland’s pay all foundation administrative expenses. The Family Copeland Foundation is a 501 C 3 public charity and donations are fully tax deductible. FIVE SCHOLARSHIPS AWARDED The Family Copeland Foundation has awarded five scholarships. In 2014 Agness Angwech and Gloria Munguleni received scholarships. They are nearing the successful completion of their studies at St. Mary’s and will graduate this coming November. In 2015 Sister Godliver Jacinto Nyongesa and Agnes Alezuyo received scholarships. In 2016 Ayiko Robina Adyee was awarded a scholarship.
