We are delighted to announce that Jasmina Charrap, who left Francis Holland in 2022, has been awarded the 2024 Quondam Travel Scholarship.

Jasmina, currently studying Global Health, was selected in recognition of her inspiring commitment to international healthcare access and her involvement with the charity Selfless. Through its Global Health Leadership Programme (GHLP), Selfless supports rural communities in Bangladesh by providing free healthcare bundles to new mothers, vision-impaired individuals, and schoolchildren in need of dental hygiene education and resources.

Originally due to take part in the GHLP in July 2024, Jasmina’s plans were postponed due to safety concerns following unrest in Bangladesh. The programme has been rescheduled for summer 2025 – in which Jasmina will still be taking part, with the support of the Quondam Scholarship. She has already purchased her return flight and reached her impressive personal fundraising target of £1,500!

Quondam was pleased to extend the scholarship’s support to include Jasmina’s wider ambitions in charitable health work. After graduating this summer, she plans to undergo clinical training as a phlebotomist, with the goal of working on mobile blood donor centres across Central and South America.

Reflecting on the award, Jasmina shared:
“This scholarship has enabled me to take meaningful steps towards a career in global health. Through projects like the GHLP, I’m starting to understand the complex challenges in global healthcare delivery – and the kinds of programmes I hope to one day contribute to, or even lead.”

We are incredibly proud to support Jasmina as she begins what promises to be an impactful and purposeful career. Congratulations, Jasmina, on being our 2024 Quondam Travel Scholarship winner!
