Presentation Notes

It’s about 10 PM at night, and the lights in your village of Chibok, in a remote corner of Nigeria, went out for the night half an hour before. Blackness and quiet cover the land, and you drift off to sleep in your bed in the girls’ dormitory. You are startled awake by footsteps and loud voices – men’s voices – telling you that the village is under attack, and that they are soldiers here to keep you safe. “Hurry! Hurry now!” they implore – get on the bus – quickly – you must come with us – now! There is no light, only a few torches held by the men, and you rush to the bus in alarm. Only when you are on the road, in their bus or truck, do you realize with horror that these are no soldiers. These men are not your rescuers, but your captors. And thus it was that the 276 school girls were brutally kidnapped in the night, because there were no lights to show the truth.

women as the drivers of household purchasing decisions

Women as customers & distributors – as innovators and disruptors in the DRE space

Women as leaders and champions – e.g Country Leads for Power For All for Nigeria, Sierra Leonne and Zimbabwe

What’s the Summary? “…DRE empowers women and girls in very practical ways …”
