Canon Collins Trust works to transform lives in southern Africa through education and by developing tomorrow’s leaders. The Trust provides scholarships for hundreds of postgraduate students each year to study in South Africa or in the UK as well as supporting community run education projects with the aim of combating poverty, deprivation and disadvantage. In the words of Nelson Mandela:
“For the past 25 years Canon Collins Trust has worked tirelessly to develop southern Africans to be leaders in their fields by providing access to education. It is through this access to education that young people will realise their full potential to build better lives for all.”
Thousands of Canon Collins Trust scholars are back home making a difference to their communities. They include teachers, engineers, political and business leaders, development workers, human rights specialists, and scientists. But they need your help.
