Irene Kagoya, Leadership & Ethics Instructor
Quite a number of issues inspired my interest in Akilah. Yes! The passion for young women empowerment I should say is what inspired me. Anything to do with women’s empowerment gives me fresh energy… its like wow!!!
Empowerment of young women in Rwanda calls for many strategies but the vocational training at Akilah trigged me most. This is because each young woman that graduates from Akilah will leave with practical on hands skills to do something for herself as well as her community.
This is the educational model Africa needs. The majority go to school but their question after school is often “what will I do?” At Akilah students start finding answers to this question from day one.
