Fifteen female students at the Learning Centre have come together to form Women Developing Rwanda, a women's empowerment group. The group members have chosen aims for the organization.
Women Developing Rwanda (WDR) will:
- look for solutions to discrimination against women in Rwanda,
- help women to continue to improve their lives,
- encourage group members to choose one thing that is important to them (their career, their studies, their families, etc.) and help them develop these things in their lives, and
- connect with a group of women abroad to share ideas and learn from others.
As a facilitator for this group I have had the privilege of getting to know wonderful women of different ages, backgrounds and goals. The group members are excited to work together to encourage each other. We have all set personal and professional goals and made strategic plans to reach those goals. I will keep this blog updated as we move toward some of those goals, both as a group and individually.
