Dr. Sebin James's journey showcases the power of targeted education. In 2024, the inaugural Sarina Margurite Bayer Memorial Scholarship - funded by the Mina Fund at CAD $1,700 annually - supported his Fellowship in Dental Implantology at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana. Now, as BCH's dentist, he's delivering advanced care through the Mina Fund-backed dental implantology unit (CAD $3,375 in 2025), restoring smiles and functionality for patients with missing teeth due to trauma or decay.
This repayable loan model ensures the scholarship's longevity, with repayments helping fund scholars like 2025's recipient Mr. Roop Sanatan in his B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Science. Launched in 2024, the scholarship has elevated BCH staff expertise, helping the hospital manage a 15% visit increase in serving 14,600 inpatients and 19,409 outpatients in their 2024/25 year.
Shalini Bage's story amplifies this: With Mina Fund support in 2019, she completed a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, securing employment and breaking her family's poverty cycle by supporting her siblings' education.
The Mina Fund breaks poverty through education, empowering healers like Dr. Sebin to provide quality care.
