Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The human right to education remains just as important for everyone in 2023 as it did in 1948 – yet sadly it still remains out of reach for many.
Watipa is thrilled to award another round of scholarships today, to students in Malawi studying at Mzuzu University and the Malawi University of Science and Technology. This year all scholarship recipients are women, pursuing their dreams and education in chemistry, international relations, computer science, education, mathematics, microbiology, food science, and chemical engineering.
We congratulate the new scholars, and warmly welcome them to the Watipa family. Happy human rights day – let us all do something today that will help another person realise their human rights.
