Global Organizations Working Together

For the last few weeks, we, 1000 Women Can Change the World (“1000 Women,” for short) have been closely with two international organizations, PeaceXPeace and the Leading Women of Africa… exploring ways that we can create synergy by exchanging ideas, pooling our resources and working together.

 

My personal mantra and tagline for Women’s Support TEAM has been for some time now “Together Everyone Achieves More (TEAM) with less stress globally.”  Now it is really taking off with teaming up of international organizations and this, as they say, is just the beginning.

 

PeaceXPeace is building Global Networks – Circles all around the Globe so that like-minded individuals can connect with each other and exchange ideas, concepts, resources and so much more. 

 

The Leading Women of Africa  is a pan-African movement uniting women leaders in order to find ways and means to contribute to the maintenance of peace and stability in that continent through the unity and economic empowerment of Women of Africa in the 21st century.

 

It was by joining one of the Global Roundtables put on by PeaceXPeace and Unifem that I learned about the leading women of Africa.  Through their moderator and facilitator, Linda Higdon, I had the pleasure of meeting and exchanging ideas with Madelein Mkunu from South Africa, a leading proponent for helping the woman of Africa.

 

When I asked Madelein what the women in Africa need most, she, without hesitation, stated “to get rid of their poverty mentality.  Since the Universe is working in its infinite wisdom, one of our Mentors (from Women's Support TEAM), Rachel Flower, is already starting to work on this project – creating an information module on from poverty to prosperity.  

 

All this... in just a couple weeks. 

 

How exciting!  Stay tuned for more updates…
