Vital Voices Global Partnership is a leading non-governmental organization that identifies, invests in and brings visibility to extraordinary women leaders around the world.

An international staff and team of over 1,000 partners, pro bono experts and leaders, including senior government, corporate and NGO executives, have trained and mentored more than 8,000 emerging women leaders from 127 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East since 1997.

These women have returned to their communities to train and mentor more than 500,000 additional women and girls. They are the Vital Voices of our time.

A special thanks to Vital Voices board member, Diane von Furstenberg, for lending her voice to bring attention to the vital voices of so many others.

  • she is very impressive

  • Kakenya is very brave to have the courage and ideas to improve herself and her community. We need more women like her. You have not stopped you have taken the opportunity to educate your community the girls. You are one helluva woman. My website is on building women power.

  • WOW! What a perceptive little girl who looked out for the woman she is today!

  • I love the fact that in a male-oriented society, she found a way to use their rules to get what she wanted. It shows how smart she is...I also applaud the fact that she went back home to make a difference.

  • that was very nice!!!

  • ...because teachers looked nice. Teachers did not have to work on the farm.

    THAT IS AN AWESOME REASON TO TEACH.

  • inspiring.. very nice.
