We have today kicked off our #campaign with a Focus Group Discussion of Women in Humanitarian-Organization Leadership.

For 2-weeks, we'll share stories of both refugee women & host communities to recognize their achievements, advocate for inclusion, and Economic Empowerment.

The campaign seeks to help women from Congo, South Sudan, Sudan, Somalia, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Eritrea & Uganda to access more direct business funding, funding to women-led organizations and creating more networking & mentorship opportunities.
