and young women cognizant of their agency and inherent capacity to create and
implement solutions to the challenges that their communities face. Our
investment lies in with programming that intervenes at critical and potentially
catalytic periods of transition for adolescent girls and young women – primary to
secondary school, secondary to tertiary education, professional career and young
adulthood – to propel them into effective change agents for the Continent. By
selecting from and building the capacity of some of Africa’s most innovative
young women, we are meeting the urgent need for both more African women in
leadership as well as the overarching need for creative and empathetic
leadership that holds justice at its core.
