These awards give back! Profits from the Women Changing The World Awards go to providing girls with full and part scholarships to enable them to receive support, mentoring and education through Tererai Trent International (TTI).
We believe that investing in women and girls is the most powerful way to change the world! Investing in education creates a powerful ripple effect far beyond today and into the future.
Tererai Trent International Foundation helps send girls in rural Zimbabwe to attend College and or University.
In Zimbabwe, due to historical inequities that have shaped the poor, more rural girls are married before the age of 18 and 5% are married before their 15th birthday.
This support ensures that these bright, and yet under-resourced African children, who are often the first in their families to attend university, can change the trajectory of their life, their communities and future generations.
Together we can help create a brighter future for these students.
