Graça Manjate
Mozambique 2011
As a researcher, Graça Manjate aspires to improve agricultural productivity and the sustainable use of natural resources, and consequently improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Mozambique. She credits a kindly registrar at the Catholic University of Mozambique as having had a significant impact on her life. This woman noticed Manjate’s application, called her, and encouraged her to apply for a scholarship.
I told her everything, including the fact that my father died when I was 7 years old and I went to live with my sister,” she says. Manjate had been unable to find a job with just a secondary school education, so she was delighted to be offered a scholarship thanks to the registrar’s advocacy, and to complete a bachelor’s degree.
