The support from ConnectHER enabled us to conduct the pilot cohort for the Niongoze Fellowship which incubated 9 fellows from universities across the country. This partnership assisted us in attracting support from the Netherlands Embassy in Tanzania to support the second cohort of the same project. The second cohort has incubated 15 fellows across the country. It would not have been possible to conduct the first pilot cohort, nor secure the funding for the second cohort if ConnectHER did not trust and believed in us in the first place.
Doyenne, Tanzania
This year's grant to Doyenne will help train 40 young women in leadership. Following the need to grow the network of Niongoze Fellowship (which ConnectHER fumded last year), Doyenne established a supportive network of aspiring young female leaders from higher learning institutions in Tanzania. Binti Kiranja is a club run by young female leaders who stand out for their potential, accomplishments, and desire to give back to their communities.
