Fostering Female CHANGE-MAKERS for Inclusion & Equality:
Professional Training
for Women in the Aid and Development Sector
Are you looking to expand your skills in development work, create greater impact and network with similarly-minded women…whilst also helping other women?
Thrive aims to support the professional development and empowerment of women in humanitarian aid and local development work through the provision of online and onsite training & capacity-building services.
Specifically, the organisation aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of female development workers - including NGO staff and local representatives - and researchers in front-line, best practices related to gender and development, social enterprise and research techniques, and to promote women’s networking and exchange.
The proceeds generated from these professional training courses are then used for pro-bono outreach to support marginalised refugee women in Kenya as local change agents that can support peer-to-peer learning and development in their communities.
