NYASHA GWAZA ’26 RECEIVES PROJECTS FOR PEACE GRANT
Congratulations to electrical and computer engineering student Nyasha Gwaza ’26 for receiving a Projects for Peace grant. Projects for Peace is a global program that encourages young adults around the world to develop innovative, community-centered responses to the world’s most pressing issues.
Nyasha will spend May through August in Gwanda, Zimbabwe for a project titled “Sewing Peace” at a local high school that she attended.
The project’s objective is to divert young people from engaging in illegal gold panning activities and the resulting conflict with local environment management authorities, using sewing instruction as a means of socially acceptable economic self-sufficiency. Read more about Nyasha’s project at the Student Fellowships Office website.
