Ten exceptional women recently learned they were the most recent recipients of a MMEG South Africa Program education grant. These grants will allow them to complete their studies, by paying their tuition, financing their research, or paying the rent.
Behind those grants are other exceptional women—and men—who make up MMEG’s 2021/22 South Africa Program Selection Committee. The South Africa Program Selection Committee could hardly be more diverse: its 12 members represent 11 nationalities, spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. And most of them have lived and worked in two, three, or more countries.
Committee members’ professional expertise includes the expected and respected fields of business, finance, public health, economics, law, agriculture, corporate banking, ethics, and food policy, but our committee members are also passionate about art, woodworking, and teaching. Most of all, they’re passionate about ensuring that the right women obtain MMEG’s grants.
We are grateful to these dedicated volunteers, who spend countless hours fulfilling MMEG's mission: to support exceptional women from developing countries in their pursuit of higher education to uplift women and children.
Thank you South Africa Program Selection Committee!
