We’re teaching girls to question and engage and to evolve into progressive leaders who can positively affect their villages, their country, and even their world. And we’re giving adults a space to reinvent and reimagine their lives, too at a community-driven model which has been integral to their success over the last 13 years. And it all starts with education: an educated woman is more likely to give back to her community, to inspire others to attend school, and to cultivate a sense of independence among both her peers and the next generation.Connect with Noella Coursaris Musunka via NoellaCoursaris.com and LinkedIn.
