The Beast Foundation, in collaboration with Elyseum Family Office , has launched the Lead Like a Girl programme aimed at empowering young women from underprivileged backgrounds in South Africa and Zimbabwe, providing them with opportunities to realise their full potential.
Structured around five core pillars, Lead Like a Girl encompasses crucial aspects such as schooling support , annual leadership camps, inter-African country visits, ongoing mentorship, and a dedicated alumni community. “Lead Like a Girl represents a collective effort to uplift young women and foster positive change in underserved communities across Africa,” says Tendai Mtawarira , chairman of The Beast Foundation. “Through mentorship, scholarships, the influence of inspiring female patrons, and the establishment of a robust alumni network, our goal with Lead Like a Girl is clear: to provide unwavering support, comprehensive training, and quality education to young girls.
Lead Like a Girl aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goals 4, Quality Education, and 5, Gender Equality. Moreover, the UN Women Annual Report highlights the urgent need for accelerated progress, indicating that achieving gender equality could take up to 300 years without the allocation of increased resources.
