“Women empowerment is important for the health and social development of families, communities, and countries.

“Being an empowered woman, allows you to feel confident about possessing the power necessary to create the life you want and develop the belief that you are capable of accomplishing anything you set your mind to. It’s not about superiority but about learning and being willing to serve others.”

Gail previously told the Daily Sun that serving the community has given her a greater sense of purpose and through serving others, her confidence has grown insurmountably.

The inspiring author shares the progress of her NPO:

“We have partnered with the Department of Sports, Arts, Culture, and Recreation on some of their library programs which encourage the culture of reading in the community, especially in underprivileged communities.

“We furthermore do workshops and programs which support young people in high school. Choosing a career can be a challenge for most learners, so this year, we will focus more on a new program that assists them to make the best career choice.”

Gail’s NPO also supports young males and their development:

“In 2021, we also launched a program for boys after realising that there is a need to empower a boy child as well.

“We have had conversations with different teenage boys and one common challenge they face is peer pressure and the need to belong. In July, we will be tackling issues such as teenage pregnancy, alcohol and drug abuse, peer pressure, careers, and a few more [pertinent issues].”

Gail and the amazing work she does will be recognised at the Top 16 Youth Owned Brands Awards ceremony:
