If you are in Kenya and would like to support the work of Akili Dada here are ways to get involved:
Become a mentor
If you are a professional woman please consider joining the growing network of Akili Dada Mentors. These women give back by serve as mentors and leading by example.
The least time intensive is participating in our annual leadership conference
planned for end July/Early August this year. This involves attending our
conference and being willing to share your experiences as a woman in your
profession with our young scholars. In total this is a commitment of one
day a year.
The second level of involvement is to commit to visiting our scholars once a
term as well as attending the conference. In total its a commitment of
four days a year. It might not sound like much but we really need
professional women who will stand by their word and actually show up when they
say they will. To us that is more important than attracting large numbers
of mentors.
If you would like to Mentor an Akili Dada scholar, please email wanjiru@akilidada.org for more information.
