join our Action and everyone can help
..Since.. 2021

a just world where all women and girls use their fullest potentials and capacities in all aspects for their better lives.

  • Foster the capacities of women and girls through different capacity development packages, trainings and/or services so that they can utilize their fullest potentials.
  • Create possible platforms and ways where all women and girls can openly discuss their social and economic issues/lives that will help them get possible solutions.
  • Support and facilitate to preserving Ethiopia’s productive history, cultures and heritages through creation of mentorship and experience sharing platforms among women. 
  • Thrive for collaboration and creation of synergy with other organizations and partners for gender equality and women’s empowerment.

We are open and accessible to anyone or any organization to join as long as
their intentions and values align with ours and their contribution is relevant
to our mission. We also prioritize compassion and the human touch in our
day-to-day activities.

We value the input and contribution of all stakeholders and components that
together make the whole of our organization and mission. We also believe in
long term strategic partnerships; no individual can be a “one-man-team” and
success can only come from everyone being a team player.

We seek to have tangible, sustainable and profound impact in everything we
do and the best of all parties is required to hit our targets. It is a grand and
intricate mission we have undertaken, so only the highest standard of any
output is required.

We have the endless task of better empowerment on hand as a priority, so it is
expected of everyone to exercise their leadership skills to the fullest. This
requires a strong drive and always taking initiative which is measured and
translates in each task every time.

We are fully aware that a flawed and corrupt system is what has caused the
majority the problems we have set out to solve. Knowing this, we have no tolerance towards devious and reckless intentions and activities that only impede
our already challenging problem on hand.
