SEE WHAT DRIVES US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The Shirley Walters Foundation was founded based on the life and work of the late Shirley Elaine  Walters (deceased)  who was a Teacher,  School Principal, Sunday-School Teacher, Music Teacher, Choir Master, Life Insurance Agent, Ordained Minister of Religion, Wife/Mother and so much more to so many.

Her philosophy in life was reflected in several  bible  verses which she would often quote: 

"He that gives to the poor lends to the Lord" (Proverbs 19:17)

"He that wins  souls is wise." (Proverbs 11:30) 

"For God loveth a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9:7)

Undoubtedly, her live embodied these scriptures, which in turn led to the positive impact and indelible impression she has left on the lives of many individuals.   This medium is one of the ways we are continuing her legacy. A legacy which embodies soul-winning, encouragement and giving in both cash and kind; giving especially to the cause of education while acknowledging that God is the ultimate Giver of All good things.

This venture is one of the ways we continue the vision and  work of Shirley Walters whose plan had also included the establishment of an organization where financial assistance would be made available for  students who desire to realize their academic dreams. Her love  for people and desire to see others excel was what  motivated and inspired our Founder (Ainsley Dixon) to establish the Shirley Walters Foundation.

 Our dedicated team of philanthropists  and volunteers are committed to helping others  financially and otherwise. We take our convictions and turn them into action.  We give scholarships,  grants, and other types of financial assistance to children/students,  young adults and senior citizens who need it.
