This year SOS Children's Villages across the globe marked International Women’s day by sharing quotes from inspiring women from across SOS Children's Villages. Gitta Trauernicht-Vice President of SOS Children's Villages International's key message on this day was "We must keep striving to ensure all women in the organisation are empowered to be the leaders we need.
We have a duty to empower the girls in SOS children's Villages programmes to show them they can be anything they want. We empower caregivers through ensuring they have a positive working experience and access to further development opportunities." Locally SOS Children’s Villages Kenya in partnership with our corporate partner Startimes media marked the day by having SOS young women attend a mentorship women's forum StarTimes Women Forum in partnership with Akili Dada- a leadership incubator nurturing the next generation of African women leaders. The daylong event exposed the young women to insights on mentorship and its benefits.
