Mandela Rhodes Foundation: History At Work
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all of you around the world who are assisting in the great project of building The Mandela Rhodes Foundation.
The central purpose of The Mandela Rhodes Foundation is to build exceptional leadership capacity in Africa.
In 2003 the Foundation came into being as a full and equal partnership between the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the Rhodes Trust. The bringing together of these two names represents a symbolic movement in the closing of the historic circle; drawing together the legacy of reconciliation and leadership and that of entrepreneurship and education.
Already the Mandela Rhodes Scholarships are building exceptional leadership capacity in Africa. They are changing the lives of young Africans, who will play vital roles in the future of the continent.
The achievements of The Mandela Rhodes Foundation so far have been remarkable, but it is its future potential that is most exciting.
I urge you to help in every way you can, knowing that you have my personal appreciation.
