Girl MOVE Academy
The Girl MOVE Academy believes that investing in education, health and safety of young African women has a positive ripple effect in society, given its transformational impact on these women who go on to becoming major assets of the community thus breaking the cycle of poverty.
Girl MOVE Academy’s Project “Believe, Lead, Change”, is an Advanced Skills Programme for Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship aiming at contributing to the consolidation of Servant Leadership capabilities in young women through the development of an entrepreneurial vision to problem solving. In the final stage of this programme, “Girl Movers” prepare for impactful employment and participate in an international “Life Training Stage”.
Given that VdA shares in the vision and mission of the Girl Move Academy, the firm has entered into a partnership with this organization in 2016, whereby it supports the costs of participation of a “Girl Mover” in the project, and provides the opportunity to undergo professional training at VdA, within the firm’s CSR Programme. In cooperation with VdA Academia, all Mozambican young trainees are offered two soft-skills’ training sessions.
