Project MEND

Last week marked the end of an incredible journey with the Alliance for Women and Girls Programe , which I joined through the Her Africa Early Stage Incubation Program (HAESI).

Over the past six months, I had the privilege of learning alongside powerful women working with women and girls across different African countries. From inspiring facilitators, close-knit breakout rooms, mentorship sessions, to the impact buddy structure, every part of the experience helped me grow, connect, and dream bigger.

During this time, I also had the amazing opportunity to be spotlighted twice to share my impact story, one of those times was before the AFWAG board.

Beyond the learning, I gained sisters and friends who made this journey even more special. One of them is my impact buddy, Mary, to think she’s all the way in Kenya, yet every time we speak, it feels like we’re just a few streets apart.

The program wrapped up with a beautiful graduation ceremony and I’m humbled to share that I received the Spark Award, given to the participant most likely to start a movement.

I’m grateful for this journey, the friendships formed, the lessons learned, and the doors it has opened. We keep growing, learning and moving!
