Akili Dada
Nonprofit from Kenya
Akili Dada is an award-winning leadership incubator anchored on the belief that girls and young women CAN and DO LEAD. Our mission is to nurture transformational feminist leadership, in girls and young women, from underserved backgrounds to meet the urgent need for more African women in leadership. We journey alongside adolescent girls and young women, supporting them in creating and implementing solutions to their communities' challenges. We build their capacity to lead, applying a holistic approach that encompasses financial investment, intergenerational mentorship, movement building, and advocacy through education and leadership. After 17 years, engaging and collaborating with girls and women, our philosophy is embedded, in Igniting inherent power; Amplifying voices and perspectives; while nurturing Legacies of influence that can be sustained and replicated, across the world. Through W.A.U (Washa – Ignite. Angaza – Amplify. Legacy – Urithi), we conduct rigorous research and development to inform our programmatic pillars.
