PepsiCo celebrated the conclusion of the 8th year of the Tomou7h programme which is offered by the Company to Arab youth with the aim of improving their educational achievement.  The scholarship programme is implemented in collaboration with Ajyalouna which seeks to support education, health and social work.  The event was held last week during an official ceremony attended by the Ministers of Information and Higher Education.
During its eight years of operation, the programme provided more than 1800 educational scholarship to deserving students from different parts of Lebanon.  Since its inception in 2006 and until now, PepsiCo has offered a total of USD 1.6 million worth of scholarships.  Four years ago, the annual amount was toped up by 10% to accommodate students with special needs and to assist them in integrating society and pursue their educational goals.
