Yesterday, we had the privilege of welcoming guests from the University of Pretoria to TWEENS in Tongogara Refugee Settlement for the Mastercard Foundation Scholarship Program.

This initiative brings a life‑changing opportunity directly to refugee students in our community.

The turnout was outstanding, and the energy in the room was unmistakable. Participants asked thoughtful questions, engaged in rich conversations, and showed deep enthusiasm for fully funded opportunities at the University of Pretoria. That level of drive and ambition is truly encouraging.

We saw not only high school graduates but also Ordinary and Advanced Level students in attendance. Our aim is to motivate them to aim higher as they pursue their studies.

This Mastercard Foundation scholarship outreach has also visited Bulawayo (National University of Science and Technology – NUST), Plumtree in Matabeleland, Harare (University of Zimbabwe), and Danhika Industrial Training Centre. We are proud that our settlement was the most recent stop.
