Oprah Winfrey's plan to close her South Africa girls' school

Oprah Winfrey has announced she will close the Leadership Academy for Girls, a school she founded in South Africa nearly two decades ago for underprivileged young women, at the end of next year. The school, which Winfrey established in 2007, was intended to provide quality education and opportunities to girls from disadvantaged backgrounds in South Africa. No detailed reasoning for the closure has been given beyond the announcement itself. The decision marks the end of one of Winfrey's most high-profile philanthropic projects.
