My name is Natashim Kiz. I head up the Ruta Sechaba Foundation, which is all about educating the nation. The foundation focuses on offering scholarships to learners from underfunded communities, with the aim of giving them access to quality education.

Today, we’re holding a session to build strategic partnerships and engage in conversations about how we can uplift the youth. The goal is to explore how we can offer more scholarships — because without partners, our ability to grow is limited.

The big mission for us is about unlocking opportunities for the youth — opening doors for future leaders. But we can’t do it alone. We need partners to help us drive our mission of making quality education accessible.
