About Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa Study Buddy Fund Bursary Programme
Launched in 2021 the Study Buddy Fund assisted 55 deserving young people across communities in which CCBSA has operations, to access tertiary education.
To date, CCBSA has invested over R8 million to support students and has now called for applications for the 2023 academic year.
Nozicelo Ngcobo, CCBSA Public Affairs, Communication, and Sustainability Director, said: “Education is important in eradicating poverty and promoting sustained, inclusive, and equitable economic growth for sustainable development. CCBSA recognizes that education is central to the development and improvement of the lives of young people in South Africa, the work of dealing with challenges in the education system cannot rest on the government alone”.
“We recognize the deep socio-economic issues at play in our country where poverty, unemployment, and inequality cause such despair and division in our communities,” she said. “Supporting the educational aspirations of our young people is one way in which we believe we can help turn the tide and create a better future for all in South Africa”.
