Erdi Huizenga Scholarships

Erdi Huizenga Scholarships
For hospital staff in Sierra Leone

Introduction

In 2011 the Smarter Hospital Foundation was founded by Erdi Huizenga and 2 friends from IBM.
The vision of the SHF is that we believe in a world where the able help the people who are not yet able to help themselves. We believe by showing this we inspire others to join in this believe.
After the tragic pass away of Erdi in 2020 we as foundation want to keep her vision alive and assure that people who want to help get the proper education to support the one in need.
With this in mind we started the Erdi Huizenga Scholarships for Hospital staff currently focussing on City Garden Clinic in Makeni.
