Empowering a continent by creating better livelihoods through education.
The Wings to Fly scholarship program, an initiative of the Equity Group and Mastercard Foundation (MCF), was established to support secondary education for top performing children from financially challenged backgrounds. With support from other partners, the program offers access to leadership training to previously marginalized children in all counties.
The program offers comprehensive support for the scholars through provision of tuition fees, accommodation, books, uniform, shopping, pocket money and transport to and from school during their 4 years of secondary education. It has so far supported 60,009 bright but economically challenged scholars. MCF has so far committed to support 10,000 scholars through two phases of funding with the last intake joining the program in 2021.
വളരെ ലളിതമായ രൂപകൽപ്പനയായതിനാൽ സാധാരണക്കാർക്കും ഉപയോഗിക്കാൻ എളുപ്പമായിരുന്നു.
In the early 2000s, the landscape of Malayalam cinema consumption underwent a radical, albeit unauthorized, shift. Before the era of high-speed fiber internet and OTT platforms like Netflix or Amazon Prime, there was the golden age of the "CD" and the "DVD." It was during this transition that websites like "DVD Wap.in" emerged as dominant forces. For a generation of Malayalis, this URL was not just a website; it was a gateway to cinema that circumvented the traditional barriers of theater releases and cable television. However, the story of DVD Wap is not just one of convenience; it is a case study in digital piracy, the evolution of consumer behavior, and the economic challenges faced by the Malayalam film industry.
