Situation
Prolonged conflict in many parts of Africa has prevented many communities and indivduals having access to education and training. As a reult these communities lack leaders and senior professionals to help build a peaceful future and the cycle of conflict continues
Solution
The Wilberforce Scholarships will equip senior professionals, managers and leaders to acquire the skills and confidence to break the cycle of conflcit and lay a sound foundation for long term peace. The experience of study in the UK is particularly challenging and rich, and develops vital skills.
