AT least nine female students undertaking studies at PNG’s six main universities will be able to fulfil their dreams of graduating this year with bachelor or diploma certificates in their various academic fields.
This has been made possible through The National’s empowering women campaign draw held yesterday at The National’s head office in Waigani, with representatives from major sponsoring companies picking out the lucky winners from about more than 4,000 entries from all over PNG.
The winners included:

Each of the winners will be awarded K 3,000 to meet school fees for this year.
The campaign is an initiative of The National newspaper, which started years back with the aim of empowering women through making education accessible to all.
