It has been said, “when you educate a girl, you educate a nation.” There is no better evidence of that saying than Her Excellency Graça Machel.

This video tells the story of Her Excellency Graça Machel, a global humanitarian, who is the former first lady of both Mozambique and South Africa. Graça’s work for women and children throughout Africa and around the world is beyond inspiring. In 2017 she was honored with the Diamonds Do Good Global Humanitarian Award, and we were honored to create this tribute video to help celebrate and articulate her good works.
