GALE Programme

Thank you to the for the privilege to sit with young leaders, artists and pioneers and ask the simple question: 'what if?' What if our dreams were bigger than our current circumstances? What if we could influence the world around us? What if we could tell a new story about ourselves? What if... A beautiful evening spent with young women who are already reimagining their world and are not afraid to do hard things. Such a blessing...

Excited for a Night at the Museum with the where we will be connecting with young women around creating their personal brand and making a difference in the spaces they are called. We love to partner with spaces that empower and encourage the next generation to lead and participate in writing a really good story about the future of this country.

May we continue to mentor, raise, and educate women who are unafraid to take up space.
May this Women’s Day remind us that audacious women have always been — and continue to be — major forces at the forefront of change in South Africa and across the world.

We still need to talk about women in leadership.
We still need to talk about female reproductive health.
We still need to advocate for young women to receive the education they need to prevent early pregnancy.
We still need to fight against gender-based violence.
We still need to challenge the unfair treatment of women in the workplace.
We still need to talk about women’s rights to ownership and their right to participate fully in the politics of their countries.
We still need to raise awareness about the impact of intersectionality.
We still need to advocate — loudly and consistently — for the rights of women.

We must continue to prioritise the issues that make life disproportionately harder for women, not only on our own doorstep, but around the globe. Yes, some of us have come a long way, but for many women, the journey has only just begun.

May we be audacious enough to fight for the things that make us uncomfortable, the things that stir our sense of justice.
May today — and every day after — remind us that women matter, and that they matter equally, no matter where their home address may be.

Today was everything we dreamed of and more!
We officially launched the Richness Collective — a space for women to lead, connect, and grow together.
The room was filled with so much heart, wisdom, and pure magic.
We can’t wait to see this community blossom! Here’s to new beginnings and big dreams!

The countdown has begun 💙✨

On this Women’s Day, we honor the incredible legacy of female activism in South Africa—a testament to the power of those who dare to challenge the status quo and reshape the world. Today, we celebrate all the phenomenal women who speak out and reimagine a brighter future. May the spirit of advocacy and change continue to inspire and empower women everywhere. Happy Women’s Day!

Happy International Women's Day! 💐 Today and every day, let's celebrate the incredible contributions of women worldwide. 💪 By investing in their potential, we accelerate progress for all. 🌍

🌟 Celebrating International Day of the Girl Child! 🌟

At the GALE Programme, we've dedicated three years to empowering young girls to embrace leadership roles, providing them with the platform to step into the world of activism and allowing them to shape the agenda for vital discussions in their communities. Let's continue our commitment to ensuring every girl's voice has equal access and empowering them to play a pivotal role in building their communities, one step at a time. 🙋‍♀️💪🗣️

"Empowering women is about much more than just ensuring their equal access to the world of work. It is about giving them the tools they need to rebuild their communities, and change the world for the better." - Melinda Gates 🌟

We are thrilled to have hosted a three-day workshop for young women, empowering them to rewrite their stories and prepare for the working world. Together, we delved deep into issues of mental health and emotional development, and these young women showed up ready to take charge of their futures. We can't wait to see all that they achieve! 💪

The GALE young adults' programme revolves around the theme "I am my sister's keeper," which promotes sisterhood and self-discovery, conveying an empowering message. We express our gratitude to the for this incredible opportunity.
