“I
am passionate about promoting women and gender issues after observing that
sometimes women and girls sometimes are marginalized by society, family and
friends. This is why I have chosen to complete a Master of Arts and Social
Sciences degree specializing in Gender and Development in the College of Arts
and Social Sciences at the University of Rwanda. I have attended several
gender training sessions at the international level (women health empowerment
intensive course and intermediate mentor training) and active in youth
movements (Rwanda Youth Alliance for Climate Actions, gender for results
network, International Youth Fellowship and Ignite the Youth Africa). Interning
at Grow I have been passionate about supporting our female entrepreneurs and
actively finding more for our programme.”
“This
program means much to me, it gives an opportunity to young women to contribute
to the improvement of the situation of women in Africa. It serves as a platform
for Fellows to cross-examine concepts of leadership in a broad African context,
cultivate the skills and experiences necessary to occupy and excel in
leadership positions, and gain knowledge on cutting-edge issues critical to
African women and their communities.”
