The Generosity of a Scholar
A recent Walk.Talk.Connect with Prof. Bhekinkosi Moyo offered a powerful reflection on mentorship, intellectual generosity, and the quiet ways scholars help shape fields and futures.
As a leading voice in African philanthropy through CAPSI: Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment, Prof. Moyo has contributed significantly to how the continent studies and advances giving. But beyond the institutional work, this reflection honours the generosity that often goes unnamed: the doors opened, the questions answered, the encouragement offered, and the relationships nurtured over time.
As CivSource Africa, CivLegacy Foundation, and Makerere University’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences begin building Ukarimu, a Center for African Philanthropy and Social Impact, Prof. Moyo’s wisdom and companionship offer an important reminder: African philanthropy grows stronger when knowledge is shared, leaders are mentored, and influence is used to lift others.
