Getting started…
As a small charity that is just starting, we are in the early stages of development. A scholarship in Sir Graeme’s name has been awarded to a young woman in Southeast Asia, offering her the opportunity to pursue her academic and career dreams. This scholarship has helped to alleviate financial burdens, thereby empowering her to access resources and opportunities that were previously out of reach. By investing in her education, the charity is making progress towards our goal of interrupting cycles of poverty and enabling young women like our scholarship recipient 2022 to build futures in which they can flourish while contributing positively to their communities and inspiring other young women to believe in and to fulfil their potential.

Testimonials

"Sir Graeme Davies made a lifelong contribution to education in many countries throughout the world. This was especially the case for the people of Vietnam. Sir Graeme was instrumental in forming the British University Vietnam (BUV), which recently became the first university in Vietnam to be awarded an international QS 5 Star quality rating. He was the University’s founding President and Chancellor, as well as the Chair of the University Council. His knowledge and experience in the formation and operation of international universities has been invaluable to BUV and its UK partners. His leadership, dedication, and commitment built the foundations that now facilitate the opportunity for many young Vietnamese and British students to enjoy an international learning experience and form networks and friendships that will last a lifetime. These experiences help shape the future of education and bilateral relations between Vietnam and the UK. On a personal level, Sir Graeme was a mentor and great friend of mine, a man of vision, great experience and a delightful disposition. He had a genuine love for BUV, its staff, and especially its students. Through his foresight and dedication many young Vietnamese students have been given the opportunity to achieve an education that, prior to the development of BUV, they could only dream of – they are now changing the world. He is missed greatly by all at BUV."

"Without Sir Graeme, the British University Vietnam would not be where it is today. His wisdom, guidance and leadership were invaluable. When he joined us, we had a small meeting room within one of our Apollo English language centres that was designated as the University project office. During his time with the University, under his leadership as founding Vice Chancellor, it blossomed from that one small meeting room to a 165 mil USD state of the art campus that today has well in excess of 3000 students. The Vietnam Government always enjoyed meeting with him because they knew he didn't just care for the University. He cared about higher education in Vietnam."

“I was fortunate to meet with Sir Graeme on his first trip to Vietnam. I had felt nervous about meeting Sir, but Sir Graeme was so kind and made me feel like we had met before. Later, I was involved in arranging a small group meeting between Sir Graeme and a few media people, VIPs, and loyal Apollo students. Everyone was impressed with his stories and wisdoms, we all felt we went away with some learning. We had the same comments that he was so vibrant for his age and very personal in the way he treated younger generations. We all live once. Sir Graeme’s passing away reminds us that we can lead a meaningful life and make impacts in great ways. Sir Graeme has left international legacies. Many of those people lucky enough to have had his touches will continue to make impacts on their communities and societies. Sir Graeme will be missed.”
