Applications are open for the Merck Foundation “More Than a Mother” Africa Song Awards 2021. Merck Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Merck KGaA Germany introduced their new award, the Merck Foundation Africa Song Award ‘More Than a Mother’ 2021 in partnership with African First Ladies, for all African singers, musical artists and emerging talents, to create a song with the aim to raise awareness about Empowering Girls and Women through Education at all levels.
