Drive to Inspire – Africa LBG (DTI-A) and the Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation  (SMF) are pleased to announce a scholarship partnership, reinforcing a shared commitment to  empowering young Africans and supporting impactful initiatives across the continent. 

Drive to Inspire – Africa LBG is a non-profit organisation, dedicated to empowering young  Africans primarily through education, mentorship, and scholarship opportunities. DTI-A was  founded by Nana Adjoa Hackman, a Ghanaian corporate lawyer, entrepreneur and advocate for  youth empowerment.

The organisation focuses on bridging educational inequality and supporting  brilliant but underprivileged students and has built its mission around providing educational  support, mentorship, and long-term empowerment opportunities for underprivileged but brilliant  young women.  

The Sanjeev Mansotra Foundation is a philanthropic organisation founded by Sanjeev  Mansotra, Chairman of the Planet One Group.

SMF is aimed at supporting impactful projects across diverse regions focusing on education, healthcare and sustainable development to uplift  communities and create lasting positive change.

The Foundation was established as a voluntary  social responsibility initiative, on the firm belief that expanded access to quality education is a  bedrock for sustainable economic growth and prosperity. SMF currently has initiatives in Ghana,  Guinea, Togo, Seirra Leone and India among others.

Under the partnership agreement, SMF will provide financial support to DTI-A’s scholarship programme, enabling scale-up in both reach and impact. This funding will increase the number of  scholarships awarded and expand access to tertiary education for more deserving young women.  

This partnership will also offer opportunities for DTI-A scholarship beneficiaries to study at the  University of Stirling, UK (Ras Al Khaimah Campus), upon going through the university’s entry  requirements and gaining admission.

While DTI-A’s support has been primarily focused on Ghana,  it has begun extending its scholarship reach to other African countries. Through partnerships with  organisations such as SMF, this expansion can be sustained. 

Through this collaboration, both organisations aim to scale impact and create sustainable pathways  for academic and professional advancement for deserving students.

This partnership reflects a  strategic alignment between both organisations to drive meaningful change, expand access to  opportunities, and contribute to long-term development outcomes, and represents a significant step  forward in strengthening access to higher education for disadvantaged students across Africa.

By combining resources, expertise, and a shared vision, both organisations reaffirm their commitment  to empowering the next generation of African leaders through education.
