Henley Business School to donate baby items for Mandela Day
Henley Business School Africa will be doing their part on Mandela Day, 18 July, by donating new or used baby items. The Amor project aims to provide take-home parcels for these babies consisting of clothing and a fleece/knitted or crocheted blanket in winter.
In another Nelson Mandela Day project that will be ongoing, Henley Business School Africa has announced a drive to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies in South Africa. In line with this it has awarded MBA scholarships to two women active in this sphere.
The two students, both active in their communities, aim to reduce teenage pregnancy in SA.
Goodness Nhlapho received the African Hero Scholarship for the Henley Flexible Executive MBA for Music and Creative Industries for 2015 and Evette Fransman the dean's Music and Creative MBA scholarship for 2015.
Fransman conceptualised and implemented the TH!NK programme aimed at reducing the number of teenage pregnancies in South Africa.
This initiative comes on the back of the successful MBAid campaign started in 2007 by dean of Henley Business School Africa, Jon Foster-Pedley. MBAid is a social entrepreneur movement aimed at engaging with non-governmental organisations (NGOs including community-based organisation CBOs) and public benefit organisations (PBOs).
