Are you looking for an opportunity to visit South Africa? If yes, then the OYW Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship 2026 is a perfect opportunity for you. The Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship was created to support young leaders who are dedicated to tackling the pressing and urgent linked challenges that women and girls face today. The international scholarship equips upcoming changemakers with the tools, expertise, and global exposure they require to lead revolutionary change.
The Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship seeks to foster a new generation of compassionate, courageous, and visionary leaders striving for a more just, inclusive, and equitable world for all by supporting all the young leaders who are addressing pressing issues such as gender-based violence, child marriage, disability rights, mental health, and maternal health.
The global goal of achieving gender equality by 2030 is not being met. Disparities in health and rights that affect women and girls’ opportunities in a wide range of other areas result in the slow pace of progress. Women suffer from certain mental health conditions and are more frequently subject to different social issues that lead to psychosocial disability. Almost 50% of married women are unable to make decisions on their sexual rights and health. It will take 300 years to eliminate child marriage at the current rate of growth, as 1 in 5 young women get married before turning 18. To minimize such issues, they have launched this OYW Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship 2026 in South Africa. This One Young World Scholarship is an amazing opportunity for young leaders.
One Young World is proud to collaborate with the Hauwa Ojeifo Global Impact Fund for Women & Girls for this amazing initiative. This Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship to Attend the One Young World Summit 2026 is a fully funded scholarship. This OYW scholarship program is led by a trailblazing advocate for mental health and One Young World Ambassador, Hauwa Ojeifo; the Impact Fund is on a mission to strengthen systems of care for the health and well-being of 100 million women & girls by 2030.
The Hauwa Ojeifo Scholars will receive free participation in the One Young World Summit 2026. OYW will take place in Cape Town from 3 to 6 November 2026. Moreover, they will get lifelong membership of the One Young World Ambassador Community and an opportunity to apply for grant funding of up to $25,000 USD. Overall, this OYW Hauwa Ojeifo Scholarship 2026 in South Africa is a life-changing opportunity for young leaders, so don’t miss this chance and apply today!
