Malkia Elizabeth wa Uingereza anatarajia kutoa tuzo ijulikanayo kama ‘The Queen’s Young Leader Award’ kwa vijana wawili wa Tanzania. Vijana hao ni pamoja na Given Edward na Angela Mnagoza.
The
Queen’s Young Leader Award aims to recognise exceptional people aged

skills to transform lives. Winners of this prestigious Award will
receive a unique package of training, mentoring and networking,
