DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EIRA FRANCIS DAVIES?
Eira Francis Davies was
born on 17th March 1925 to parents Annie and David Davies in Glynneath, South
Wales.
Eira left Wales in her
early adult life to working for The Society for The Overseas Settlement of British
Women (S.O.S.B.W) in London as a Child Welfare Officer. The S.O.S.B.W was
created in 1919 as part of the British government’s post-war adjustments to the
economy to facilitate the migration of female workers to former white settler
colonies. She traveled to Canada in Sept 1955 and upon her return to Britain in
1956, settled once more in her hometown of Glynneath as Assistant Director of
Social Services for West Glamorgan.
Eira understood the value
and transformative power of education; especially for women from countries
whose economic, social, and cultural backgrounds might present challenges and
barriers to the realization of their potential. As a woman of independent
means, in 2012 Eira endowed a significant fund to Swansea University for the
establishment of a Scholarship in her name. Her purpose was to help such women
realize their potential, and in doing so lift both their community and home
country.
