LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
"While African countries experience unprecedented growth, their women continue to fall behind with little access to education, healthcare, self-sufficiency, and safety. It is a great privilege to bring together a group of leaders, thinkers, and innovators who have the passion and commitment to unlock the wealth of potential possessed by African women by creating a plan of action for Africa, ensuring a bright future for the next generation."
