Congratulations to Yuthika Ramsunder, Intern in the Office of the Founder, on graduating with a Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

Reflecting on this milestone, Yuthika shared:

"On 10 December 2025, I had the privilege of being conferred with my Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of the Witwatersrand. This moment not only marked the culmination of an intellectually rigorous journey, but also signalled the beginning of a new chapter, one where I can actively translate theory into practice and bring the full weight of my postgraduate training into my professional life. My degree equipped me with critical analytical abilities, advanced research methodology, a strong grounding in global governance and development frameworks, and a nuanced understanding of gender justice and policy processes. These competencies will directly strengthen my contribution as an intern at the Trust. In many ways, the conferral was not an ending but a launch point, one that allows me to apply my academic grounding to meaningful, impact-oriented work."

We are proud to celebrate Yuthika's achievement and the depth she brings to our work at the Trust.
