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 was created to enable highly talented-yet-impoverished girls admission into our competitive Unite Scholars & Mentorship Program. From that fund, 12 girls were chosen and supported for two years to complete their A-Levels (higher secondary education). The “Kit Girls” graduate from the Unite Scholars & Mentorship Program on July 2, 2022.

Kit’s kind, loving and generous spirit lives on!
Asante sana. Thank you!
