At the MMEG Board meeting on December 10th, 2020 the grantees for the fiscal year 2021 were approved.
The South African Selection Committee presented with pride the 5 exceptional women they identified. We thank and congratulate the Selection Committee for their dedication and hard work.
2020 was a very challenging year for all but that did not hamper the enthusiasm or initiatives of the selection committee to find exceptional women, who uplift the lives of women and children, through their education. Eligible applicants proved that there is no field in which women do not excel!
MMEG is fortunate to have a selection committee comprising of volunteers, representing 13 nationalities and very varied professional backgrounds, all with the same passion and goal to identify the extraordinary and exceptional women our grantees represent.
The applicants were citizens from 16 countries studying at one of the 5 partner universities. The grantees, for FY21, fields of study are engineering, public health, business administration, medical anthropology and environmental science! They also have a strong presence volunteering in communities and for the vulnerable. Truly extraordinary women.
