About this program
Women are placed in leadership and executive level positions at an increasing rate. Yet, in Africa, most educational and development programs are focused on men. Women are many times encouraged to rather pursue more traditional roles. This program is focused entirely on women and their development. It gives these leaders the theoretical framework, but also the practical knowledge and skills to rise above their circumstances and bring systematic change to the communities they serve. The program is designed to address 3 main areas needed for transformation – personal and character development, leadership development and professional skills development.
