About Us
Welcome Message from Carol Jenkins
For more than 90 years, World Learning has equipped individuals and institutions to address the world’s most pressing problems. We believe that, working together with our partners, we can change this world for the better.
On my travels, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with many of those who have joined us in this mission. In Baghdad, we’ve trained more than 2,300 Iraqi youth who are already giving back at home. In London, our partners in the TAAP Initiative strongly believe that we are all responsible to practice inclusion. And in Vermont, our Experiment in International Living and School for International Training participants prove every day that they have the tools and the determination to change the world.
Please join us in our pursuit of a more peaceful and just world.

Malawi Scholarship Program
Program Description
The Malawi Scholarship Program (MSP) is a seven-year initiative designed to build the capacity of Malawi’s health service delivery and management sector.
Since its inception, the program has supported training at the master’s level for Malawi health professionals in public health, human nutrition, and family planning and reproductive health to upgrade their technical and professional knowledge at U.S. and African universities.
The project was expanded to include long-term academic training in Malawi for more than 760 students at various levels including certificate programs, diploma programs, bachelor’s degrees, and master’s degrees. Altogether, the Malawi Scholarship Program will have supported nearly 800 scholars by its end.
For all elements of MSP—U.S., third-country, and in-country—World Learning, through our Washington, DC, and Lilongwe offices, arranges university placements; monitors and evaluates students and programs; oversees program finances; implements post-training follow-on activities for program graduates in conjunction with USAID and its U.S. subcontractor, International Leadership Center; facilitates networks of alumni support; and ensures compliance with funder policies.
The project is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development as a task order under the Focus on Results: Enhancing Capacity across Sectors in Transition II-Participant Training contract (FORECAST II-PT).
Program Goals
- Improve health service delivery and management.
- Train health professionals in key fields including public health, nutrition, and family planning and reproductive health.
