TATA International Africa awards scholarships and donations
TATA International Africa handed over donations to worthy causes, as well as scholarships to 32 deserving young postgraduate students from four South African universities, to the value of R2.4 million.
“Education is extremely empowering and transformative. It has an amazing ripple effect, with the potential to not only uplift individuals, but also the communities in which they live and work, and ultimately society at large. Our objective is to help increase the number of young people primed to take up leadership roles in business, government, and civil society. We are committed to empowering and transforming lives through education which is one of the key components of the TATA business values and its belief system,” said Len Brand CEO, Tata International Africa, at the handover event.
In addition to the scholarship handovers, a donation was made to Operation Smile South Africa (OSSA). TATA’s relationship with OSSA dates back to 2015 during which time donations have exceeded half a million rand, and at least 12 children per year have been supported with operations at no cost to their families.
A new CSR initiative called the TATA International Africa Postgraduate Internship Programme was also announced. This is a fully-paid internship available only to recipients of the 2021 Postgraduate Scholarship Programme, for which applications are now open.
