Waje is launching an initiative that supports gender equality, aimed at
empowering, enabling and creating better opportunities for African women
and girls across the continent. While announcing the new project, she
shared a quote and some cute photos. Check them out below...
The most important and often misunderstood concept in the narratives for
gender equality is OPPORTUNITY. One of our key goals for this project
is to create awareness about the need to guarantee the same
opportunities for education and life choices for the African girl or
woman. To make gender equality a reality in Africa, we must educate and
empower women.
I believe that the only way to do this is by being an example and a
voice for our women who do not have the opportunity to speak for
themselves. We must enlighten them. We must let them know that they can
be the driving force of African growth. Through www.waje.safehouse.org,
we will be touring the continent and kicking off a scholarship fund for 5
bright young women who are unable to fund their tertiary education.
