Welcome to the Make A Positive Difference Foundation. We are a non-profit charitable foundation that is committed to building strong Christian leaders in developing countries. To that end, we provide university scholarships to deserving young Christian leaders so that they can use their education to assume leadership positions in their communities and countries. As leaders, these students will be well positioned to spread their Christian faith to others.
The mission of the Make a Positive Difference Foundation is to enhance the lives of young International Christian students and the children of missionary families by providing financial support and scholarships for higher education. By providing educational opportunities that these students might not otherwise have, we feel that these students will become strong, upright Christian leaders and will make a positive difference in their homes, communities, and countries in the future.
The Make a Positive Difference Foundation has awarded university scholarships to four young Kosovo Christian students for the 2008-2009. These scholarships enabled each of these four students to attend a university or school in Kosovo of their choice. These four students were selected based on a thorough review of their application packets by the Board of Directors of the Make A Positive Difference Foundation. Information about each of the scholarship recipients can be found by visiting the Recipients page.
Roger Anderson, President of Make A Positive Difference Foundation traveled to Kosovo in March to work with the youth and establish key contacts with the university system there.
"It was an incredible trip back to Kosovo this year. The weather proved to be a little challenging. A late season snow storm held up my arrival a couple of days, but the rest of the trip was great! I was able to visit and make key contacts with two major universities in Kosovo which will provide great resources for MAPD in the future. Spending time with the students we are supporting and their families was a great blessing and encouragement. They are all continuing to grow and mature in their faith and their work with the church and the community. The trip continued to reinforce that this is a country ready for a change and it is the goal of MAPD to provide opportunities for young Christian leaders to make a positive difference here for the Lord."
