When I started my business career, I took my own history lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.” SHELBY M.C.

  • UWC Refugee Initiative: Supporting 100 Young Refugees Per Year to Become Tomorrow’S Changemakers
    UWC Refugee Initiative: Supporting 100 young refugees per year to become tomorrow’s changemakers “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela Honorary President, UWC THE UWC REFUGEE INITIATIVE IN A NUTSHELL Lack of access to education is a major issue affecting young refugees, internally displaced and persecuted people. They are five times more likely to be out of school than more fortunate young people. But refugee communities need future leaders with strong abilities, social consciousness and a drive for peace and reconciliation. We must therefore ensure that young refugees have access to quality secondary education. UWC wants to support this. Our target is to provide one hundred scholarships per year for young refugees to attend one of the 17 UWC schools and colleges worldwide. We know that young refugees have outstanding talent. They have proven extraordinary resilience in dealing with their challenging circumstances. We want to support them with a world-class education which will enable them to become change-makers for a more peaceful and just future. “I was born and raised in a refugee camp at the end of the world, in a forgotten and impossible to reach corner of the great African desert. Yet, UWC put the time and the effort to reach that part of the world, and now here I am”. Bachir Abeid from the Smara refugee camp in Algeria, UWC Costa Rica (2013), Brown University (2017). REFUGEE CRISES IN NUMBERS THE REFUGEE SITUATION: THE CHALLENGE OF OUR TIME An unprecedented 65.3 million people around the world have been forced from home.
