When a woman qualifies in paediatric healthcare, entire communities feel the impact.

Across the country, talented young women are completing degrees in paediatric nursing, medicine, therapy, and research. They’ve done the work. They’ve earned their place. But outstanding fees are still holding many back from graduating and stepping into the roles our children urgently need.

Feenix and the African Female Paediatrician Network (AFPN) are partnering once again to remove that final barrier and ensure these women can move from training to practice.

Your support unlocks more than a qualification.
It strengthens child-focused healthcare, expands representation in medical spaces, and builds healthier communities for the future.

As you make your year-end decisions, we invite you to Step Up for Students and help women in paediatric healthcare cross the finish line.
