Representing Empower HER Initiative , our Director Nancy M Nyaleso recently took part in the "Techstars Startup Weekend" held in Johannesburg, an intensive workshop designed for young African entrepreneurs. This event that was hosted University of the Witwatersrand gathered innovative minds from over 13 countries, allowing them to enhance their skills and pitch their business ideas to experienced mentors and judges. Organized by Tshimologong Digital Innovation Precinct and Edinburgh Innovations , and a team of seasoned mentors, the workshop highlighted the significance of teamwork in providing exceptional training. During the sessions participants developed, validated, and showcased their business concepts to a panel of expert judges who challenged us with tough questions and provided invaluable feedback for our growth. This hands-on experience not only sharpened our ideas but also connected our team with a wider network of visionary peers. The Enterprise program by The University of Edinburgh emphasized the crucial role of collaboration in driving African innovation and progress, as well as the importance of diverse perspectives and practical learning in addressing real-world challenges.

We had the pleasure of hosting the team from ShiningHope for Communities (SHOFCO ) a grassroots initiative dedicated to driving significant change in urban slums by offering essential services to everyone, fostering community advocacy, and promoting education and leadership for women and girls founded by Kennedy Odede During our meeting, we took the opportunity to reflect on our own practices, assess our needs, and discuss our communities. We explored each organization's programs for potential collaboration and shared best practices. By the end of our time together, we walked away with fresh ideas to experiment with, innovative methodologies, and new approaches to our work. Truly, the journey of learning is endless!
