FedEx donates $90,000 to Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation
FedEx has donated $90,000 (more than R1.2m) to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation (OWLAF), marking its third year of support.
L-R: Andre Bresler, MD, FedEx Express Southern Africa; Ronel Kriek, marketing manager at FedEx Express; Oprah Winfrey, founder of the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy; Refiloe Tsiu, HRS specialist representative and Mike Higley, VP Southern Africa at FedEx Express
According to the World Bank Group, there are 130-million girls around the world that are not in school. Poverty, cultural norms and practices, living in remote or underserved locations, and violence negatively impacts access to education for these possible future leaders.
The donation will be utilised for the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls’ tertiary scholarship support programme, which provides bursaries for tertiary studies to eligible students who have graduated from the academy.
