Oprah Winfrey has just made it clear that she's ending her South Africa Girls' Academy.
She added that the reason behind it was to reach more younger women and provide them with educational scholarships.
After being open for nearly two decades, she says it will close and transition operations back to local officials, while Winfrey focuses on an expanded scholarship program for girls there, as she shared this week.
For her, the dream was never to just design a school. It was more about investing in the limitless potential of young women, as mentioned in a statement on Wednesday. She also announced on the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy of Girls that they would end operations in its current form at the end of next year.
From there, the provincial government would take over and continue operating the facility as a school.
