Launched in partnership with the One Young World Summit and the Hauwa Ojeifo Global Impact Fund for Women & Girls, this fully-funded opportunity is designed to empower young leaders (ages 18–30) who are driving change for women and girls—especially in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

The scholarship will support work in areas like:

• Mental health & psychosocial support

• Disability rights

• Sexual & reproductive health

• Maternal and child health

• Ending gender-based violence and child marriage

Winners will get:

• Full sponsorship to attend the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, Germany (Nov 3–6)

• Access to mentorship, global networks, and funding opportunities of up to $25,000

• Lifelong membership of the One Young World Ambassador community

This scholarship honours the legacy of Hauwa Ojeifo, a Nigerian mental health advocate and survivor who turned her pain into purpose. From running Nigeria’s first 24/7 mental health helpline to building a 2,000+ strong mental health community, Hauwa is a voice for the voiceless.
