Touring @Ashesi’s beautiful campus a few weeks ago was energizing. Hard to believe it’s been just 20yrs. Glad to have been part of their journey for the last 10! Thank you @PatrickAwuahJr for your vision, leadership & partnership which helped shape @mastercardfdn Scholars Program
As we celebrate a decade of partnership, @MastercardFdn President @reetaroymcf visited @PatrickAwuahJr on campus to reflect on the journey, and their hopes for the future of African Higher Ed. Watch on Sunday Dec. 18 at: facebook.com/ashesi, or at youtube.com/@ashesiuni.

Investing in girls’ education can help build climate resilience and transform communities. Read how young changemakers like Tawonga Zakeyu are leading the way. n.pr/3KgoK2V

Last week, we celebrated 10 years of the @MastercardFdn Scholars Program - an education & leadership development initiative for economically-disadvantaged youth, primarily from Africa. This morning, I'm reflecting on 10 things about this initiative that I'm grateful for #thread
10 – I am grateful for how the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program changed us at the @mastercardfdn. It is our oldest, longest-running initiative. It helped define our values, approach to partnership, & paved the way for our #YoungAfricaWorks strategy mastercardfdn.org/research/y…
As we look to the next 10 years of the @Mastercardfdn Scholars Program, our goal is to more than double our impact to reach a total of 100,000 young people by 2030. If the last decade is anything to go by, they will be an unstoppable force for transformation! #Scholars10
