Trainings

We have successfully conducted two impactful training sessions, bringing together over 40 participants from Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania, including staff members from Mwanzo Dot Org. These sessions were designed to empower fearless women across East Africa to share their stories and express their views without intimidation. The primary focus was on leveraging strategic communication to amplify the voices of women-led organizations and support their efforts in reaching their goals. The Shangazi Network trainings were a resounding success, creating a supportive and empowering environment for all participants. Over two days, our trainers and facilitators provided invaluable insights and tools to help participants become effective communicators and change-makers within their communities.
