Dear Friend,
As a supporter of the Graça Machel Scholarships I thought you would be delighted to know that the programme was recently featured in both the New York Times and Financial Times.
In partnership with Edinburgh Business School, the Trust is providing the chance for fifty Africans each year to study for a Masters in Business Administration by distance learning. The partnership means that African entrepreneurs can study at a prestigious institution and simultaneously implement their ideas within their own economic context.
A handful of the women supported through the programme are also Graça Machel scholars. Identified by Mrs Machel as showing inspiration and leadership skills, they benefit from a personalised programme of mentoring and support, devised by the international stateswoman to help them reach their full potential.
I do hope you enjoy reading the newspaper articles – please click on the links below. Thank you once again for your support.
Yours sincerely,
Esther Grieder
