Happy #InternationalYouthDay! Today we are celebrating the young people we work with.

Meet our former intern Fionah.

Our research lead @_Gen_Sam spoke to students in Ghana about #COVID19.

“My parents see the lock down as an opportunity to get me and my siblings to support the family business, instead of joining remote classes."

Meet @dean_seppy, our intern on our scholarship impact programme:

"My definition of a bright future is one where I empower women to access education and where we don& #39;t have to leave sub-Saharan Africa to get quality education."

We are also celebrating young leaders like Aishwarya; a PhD student, lecturer and inspiring student mentor.

"Being able to have a higher education degree is a privilege in many countries. This should not be the case."

Did you know that since start up, 33 students from across sub-Saharan Africa have worked with us on our paid internship programme?

We hope you enjoyed meeting some of them in this thread.
