Katharine “Kit” Merriman

The Kit Merriman Scholarship Fund for Girls

December 10, 2019

Kit Merriman, mother of Unite Founder & Director Anne Wells and Board Member Kim Merriman, passed away November 21, 2019, after a long and valiant battle against metastatic breast cancer. Kit was a big fan and supporter of work in Tanzania, and she had a heart for educating girls in need.

In Kit’s name a Scholarship Fund for Girls has been created to enable highly talented-yet-impoverished girls admission into our competitive Unite Scholars & Mentorship Program.

TO MAKE A GIFT TO THIS FUND IN KIT’S NAME, CLICK HERE OR SEND A CHECK TO UNITE THE WORLD WITH AFRICA FOUNDATION, 49 WHITNEY STREET, WESTPORT, CT 06880. WE ALSO ACCEPT STOCK DONATIONS. PLEASE CONTACT ANNE WELLS WITH ANY QUESTIONS AT 314.239.3997 OR AT ANNE@UNITEAFRICAFOUNDATION.ORG.

Donors to Kit’s Scholarship Fund will receive regular news updates about the girls who are being educated, supported and mentored as a direct result of their kindness and generosity.

Kit’s kind, loving and generous spirit lives on!

Asante sana. Thank you!
