Washa: Swahili word for Ignite
Washa leverages the collective power of young women aged 18-35 to innovate solutions to pressing issues facing them, their communities, and their immediate spheres of influence. The program invests in young women leaders at different levels in their personal and professional journeys by building their foundations and setting them up for growth and more substantive social and economic impact. The program increases the capacity of individual young women by building conceptual clarity, strategic visioning, and movement-building from a transformative feminist perspective.
