Girls to Lead Africa donates to market communities

Their generosity points us to the role and power every individual and organization has in contributing to the community's wellbeing.

Girls to Lead Africa (GTLA) is a leadership incubator that nurtures and mentors’ girls to take up leadership positions in student councils. During the past 42-day lockdown, they did more than just mentor girls, for leadership.

GTLA donated COVID19 relief food to families and gave masks and sanitisers to the Kanungu women that were sleeping in Kihihi Daily Market during the lockdown. The organisation also gave washable face masks to the rice traders and brokers at the Meizimera Rice Market. The washable masks can be washed up to 27 times giving them a lifespan of about a month. The market communities were given 65ml spray bottles of sanitizer and a 20litre jerrican of sanitizer from which they can refill the bottles.

The founder of Girls to Lead Africa Ms. Kansiime Honest Fortunate stated that the reason for giving to these communities was because they faced a greater risk of contracting the Corona virus due to the interactive nature of their work.

Girls to Lead Africa addressed the hunger and health needs of their community. Their generosity points us to the role and power every individual and organization has in contributing to the community's wellbeing. More about their generosity can be found here: https://girlstoleadafrica.com/
