Empowering Women through Global Friendships
A network for friends, volunteers and development mentors that work with Project Africa to empower rural women and girls.
Our Mission: Empowering women and girls in rural Africa
Empowering women and girls in rural Africa is my passion. Everyday, I think of ways in which life for women and girls in Africa can be made better. I am proud of the achivements that we have already made to establish the Women Leadership Academies and Mentoring Centres. Much More is needed and with the help of all my beautiful friends who are part of our rafiki program, volunteer and intership programs, development mentorship programs, I know for sure that this mission is possible.
I therefore call on every beautiful soul to reach out and be a part of this social network which I have created to bring together all friends of Project Africa. That we can share our experiences, our joys, our struggles and our effort towards empowerment.
Send in your stories and photos, resources and solutions and together we can Turn Vulnerability Into Victory as we get empowered through Global friendships.
