Women in Africa: Where is the Wasted Potential?
Thursday, October 17, 2013 - 12:30pm
Beatrice Achieng Nas works with the program IREX Community Solutions, which works to help individuals and institutions build up vibrant societiesfocusing on education, media, and strong communities. Beatrice has been working with communities focusing on education and empowerment for girls. In this lunchtime seminar, Beatrice will talk about women in Africa and her own personal life story. Women in Africa are the untapped resources for development. They have potential, but it is often buried by traditions passed on by or from their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. Education is the only tool that is able to tap into the potential African women have and to boost development in Africa.
