Transformative Leadership Programme in Kenya
In late October Feminenza piloted Step 1 of its Transformative
Leadership programme in Mombasa, Kenya. Our good friend Khadija
Swaleh, Public Officer of the City Council of Mombasa invited 60
women leaders or aspiring leaders to participate in the programme.
A marvellous range of experience and ages was represented, from
fiery young women to MPs in the current government.
Step 1 is entitled ‘Self-Leadership’ and its objectives
are to:
For 2 days we worked together to explore the importance of self-leadership
from the perspective that transformative leadership in society
can only become a reality when the transformation first takes place
inside each of us. That means declaring our long term purpose,
and becoming committed to developing the self awareness, qualities,
discipline and responsibility that will enable us to realise it.
We also looked at some of the role models who have travelled these
roads before us and what we can learn from them. Day 2 was enlivened
by two presentations by a youth drama group led by one of the young
women concerning early forced marriage and women’s rights.
We learned from each other and were both humbled and encouraged
by the courage, persistence and tenacity in the women who came,
from far afield, united in their desire to lead in building a more
equitable, peaceful Kenya, where girls and women can take their
rightful place in society for the development and good of all.
Part 2 of this Programme will be piloted in March 2009. For more
