Lesotho Chapter

Girls for Girls was not just a mentorship program for me, it was a movement that redefined my sense of purpose and leadership. When I joined initially as a mentee, I was eager to grow but uncertain of my own voice. I found more than just guidance; I found a powerful network of women who challenged me to rise, to lead, and to believe in the weight of my own presence. The transition to becoming a mentor was not merely a role change; it was a calling. Working with a cohort of teenage mothers at the Lesotho Good Shepherd Centre deepened my understanding of resilience, the strength found in vulnerability, and the transformative power of opportunity. I learned that leadership is not about titles, but about service, about standing in the gap for those who need a hand to hold, a voice to amplify their own. Today, in my professional career, I see the profound impact of these lessons in my daily interactions. I approach my work with empathy, clarity, and a commitment to excellence. I navigate challenges with a leader’s mindset, knowing that every engagement is an opportunity to uplift, to inspire, and to redefine expectations. Girls for Girls instilled in me an unshakable belief that leadership is not reserved for a select few; it is cultivated, nurtured, and shared. And because of this program, I carry that torch forward, ensuring that the light does not stop with me.
