In 2006, the deep loss felt at the premature death of Dr. Dunstan Mogga Wai by his friends and World Bank colleagues led them to set up a charity in his memory to benefit the education of African girls. Born in South Sudan, as a child Dunstan fled the civil war there with his family to Uganda. Scholarships allowed him to attend Makerere and Oxford Universities and to gain his Ph.D. from Harvard University. Dunstan spent the bulk of his professional life at the World Bank where he made lasting contributions to developing countries. His career reflected his deep knowledge of Africa and his passion to improve the lot of his countrymen—a true inspiration to those who knew him. The Dunstan Wai Foundation honors his exemplary life through the empowering gift of education.
