Owen & Helen Dunbar Scholarship
Owen and Helen Dunbar are the maternal grandparents of our founder Dr. Shakina D. Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings was raised by Owen and Helen Dunbar in Arlington, VA. Through their sacrifice and their desire to never let her settle, they groomed Dr. Rawlings to be successful and to go after more. After the passing of Helen Dunbar in 2009, Owen Dunbar sowed the first financial seed into Jireh’s Place. Jireh’s Place exists because of Owen’s initial seed sown for the launch of the organization.
