Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Scholarships targeting women are known to be effective in eradicating poverty. Providing postgraduate level opportunities through this project will equip 15 women to take up leadership positions directly impacting the communities, nations and region they live in. We enable women such as Malawi’s first government oncologist, human rights and development experts in Zimbabwe and environmentalists in Zambia as leaders in their fields.

Activities

Using our existing skills and infrastructure we will identify, fund, mentor, and support 15 female future leaders in their fields who will apply their learning, determination and drive to improve the lives of others.
