“KPMG was first introduced to the Global Give Back Circle in 2009 when I met two young ‘butterflies’. I was so impressed with their individual poise, and such a polished and professional presentation, that I decided the rm must become involved. Today, over a hundred people at KPMG in Kenya, the USA, Australia, South Africa and the United Kingdom, are involved in mentoring and providing friendship and Support. Over the years, KPMG in Kenya always has a number of young women from this program as interns and I can personally tell you that they are all exceptionally professional and high performing. Today, we feel fortunate to have four of those outstanding young women working in full-time positions at KPMG. KPMG is proud to be associated with the Global Give Back Circle and the fantastic impact it has on all involved”.

The 2017 Global Give Back Circle – Future Political Leaders Conference was held in Nairobi Kenya, from 27th April to 30th April 2017. Participants included 48 girls from Starehe Girls’ Centre (SGC) in Kenya, 49 girls from Gashora Girls Academy of Science and Technology (GGAST) in Rwanda, 4 girls from St. Elizabeth’s Girls Secondary School in West Pokot, Kenya, and 175 girls from various secondary schools across Kenya. The conference was designed to educate and empower adolescent girls to step-up to roles in advocacy, to drive policy change, and to break through the glass ceilings of political leadership.
The conference integrated interactive sessions, tours and field trips, panels and speakers, all focused on methods of policy change, advocacy, and the role young women can play in public service. It also gave beneficiaries the opportunity to meet their sisters for the first time and to exchange ideas across borders. Participants successfully learnt how they can create impact through policy change and advocacy, how to develop and write a policy, and how to present it. They were given a chance to advocate for policy change to actual policy makers, reminding them that their voices matter, and they can make a difference in their countries and across Africa.
