Scholars’ Voices
Scholars and alumni have powerful stories of resilience and impact. We want to hear their stories, listen to what is important to them and their communities, and support their ideas to help create positive change. At the 2022 Baobab Summit in Kigali, Rwanda, we asked Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program Alumni to share their thoughts on topics where they are focusing their attention.
