Commemoration of International World Refugee Day, 2024
On this International World Refugee Day, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Makerere University reaffirms its unequivocal commitment to empowering refugee youth. This is accomplished through providing access to higher education and comprehensive personal development training, acknowledging their potential and resilience in the face of remarkable challenges.
The Program remains a beacon of hope, recognising refugee youth's extraordinary potential and resilience. Despite encountering immense challenges, these young individuals exhibit exceptional determination and strength. By emphasising education's transformative and empowering nature, the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program at Makerere University is a catalyst for change. It strives to realise refugee youth's potential and give them the necessary knowledge and skills to flourish and effect positive changes in their lives and communities.
The Program goes beyond conventional education by offering comprehensive leadership training that nurtures personal growth, community involvement, and an entrepreneurial mindset. The program is committed to cultivating a new cadre of leaders who will excel academically and spearhead community transformation, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable world.
Today, we stand in solidarity with refugees globally and celebrate their contributions to our society. We invite governments, institutions, and individuals to join us in this noble mission. Let's collaborate to create more avenues for refugee youth to access education and leadership opportunities. Together, we can forge a brighter future where all young individuals, irrespective of their backgrounds, can realise their aspirations and drive constructive change.
