Dear BPW Africa Members,
It is with great pleasure that I write to all members of BPW – Africa .
Our African continent is in need of all our efforts to work on the economic empowerment of Women of Africa to achieve the economic growth.
Our continent is the richest continent yet it is the poorest of them all.
Why ??
Because we don't invest in the capacity Building of our human resources, we don't invest in our African brains, we don't industrialize our raw materials, and we don't manufacture our food & drugs.
The women in Africa is our valuable assit yet we don't invest in Empowering our African Women, we have to achieve our economic integration, transfer of technology for our women in Business . Let our task as members of BPW – Africa & BPW International to work all together to achieve the empowerment of women as one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
