Harnessing the power of scholarships to create systemic change
Towards lasting impact on social justice and democratic development in Southern Africa
As one considers the deepening ecological crisis and the profound lessons gleaned from the pandemic, it becomes all the more apparent that southern Africa needs to develop knowledge and actions to address the complex and urgent global issues affecting it.
Food and hunger, water and energy, health, shelter, inequality, unemployment, poverty, conflict, and violence all disproportionately affect this region’s disadvantaged and impoverished communities.
By promoting socially engaged scholarship, scholar activism and ethical leadership within a robust social justice alliance, the Canon Collins Trust instils hope, unlocks possibilities, and contributes to realising the best possible outcomes for the communities of southern Africa.
