Mission statement

Working on something you really want is not possible for everyone. Women Building The City aims to encourage African women to discover and unlock their talents and to realize their ambitions.

Everybody has their unique talents. These talents do not depend on age or gender. Our first goal is to help African women discovering and unlocking their talents and to give them equal opportunities to find a job where they can work on their identity and independence.

Women Building The City will help African women by:

-       Sharing success stories of role models to inspire and stimulate women;

-       Developing relevant trainings paid by Program Partners;

-       Providing access to jobs in companies supporting the program.

Women Building The City is an initiative of several Dutch companies which want to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals, and via this program in particular to SDG 5: Gender Equality. The program will also create more equal job opportunities for both men and women. The first project of Women Building The City is the DrainUpGrader; after realization of this project we will be open for next projects that can really make an impact on the lives of the women whom we really want to empower!
