Justice for children is designed for the benefit of all children in contact with the justice system to ensure that the children are better served and protected (SG GN J4C 2008, UNICEF). The Milat Foundation Fellowship (The Darrell Milat Scholarship Program) is one way the Foundation work to advocate and promote justice for children in Cameroon when they encounter the justice system directly or indirectly.

Corruption has killed more children in Cameroon compared to any other imaginable disease. We aim to fight corruption in a highly corrupt justice system/legal department. As rational adults, we have a moral and legal obligation to stand up and speak out for children who are being deprived of some or all of their rights to childhood and the benefits that naturally comes with it. These children cannot speak for themselves. Especially when child rights or welfare issues are brought before authorities such as the welfare, the legal department, or the court, it is crucial for these authorities to understand that all judgments relating to child issues should be based on the universally accepted norm of the “Child’s Best Interest” and not clouded by corruption and other social ills.​

“We’re committed to training the next generation of legal professionals who will ensure justice in a corrupt legal system and understands the necessity for the universally acceptable norm of ‘child’s best interest’ in handling matters that concern children.”

Child Health & Well-being Scholarship

Undergraduate Nursing Students

Support the training of nursing students passionate about child health and wellbeing and who otherwise will not be able to complete their studies without external financial assistance. Every child has the right to good (or basic) health care. But millions of children from underprivileged backgrounds lack even the most basic health attention. One of our main causes at The Milat Foundation is improving children’s health and well-being. Our efforts here are carefully selected to be able to improve this situation and include supporting the training of nursing students passionate about children’s health and well-being.

Scholarships are awarded based on (i) academic performance or (ii) financial need or (iii) a combination of academic performance and financial need. In all three categories, applicants are expected to show especially how deep they share in and connect with the mission and vision of the Milat Foundation assessed in the application.
