MANAWOMEN

Manasprings salutes the many Manawomen in Kenya who embrace the true meaning of ‘mana’
– simply, how you care for others.

To date, Manasprings has reached out to hundreds of women community leaders representing their own not-for-profit, local organisations that impact the lives of thousands of children, youth, women, men, and families living in poverty throughout Kenya.

We’ve learnt that Manawomen have more than one remarkable trait in common – however one characteristic that stands strong is that of COURAGE – courage to do the right thing when everyone else turns away, courage to try again tomorrow, courage to test the limits, and courage to make a difference.

Australians have an interest in building leadership that is ethical and based on integrity. By increasing the capacity of women in leadership, the effectiveness of their organisations will be multiplied across all the people to whom they provide such a vital service. We trust that the work of Manasprings will continue to grow strong, ethical leadership in Kenya.

I realised that everyone is valued at Manasprings - there is love and concern.

Manasprings has been my role model. I have been strengthened and I am now a different leader. I would love Manasprings to have its own Leadership Centre so that we can reach more women leaders both within and outside the villages across Kenya.

The sessions were articulated well and designed for a purposed person – thank you for that!

I have left Manasprings well equipped with knowledge… it was not only about relaxing but I go home, a ‘re-loaded’ woman.

I will inspire more people in the community to be ethical leaders.

I loved the session, ‘Just Dance’. It talked directly to me as the vision bearer for my organisation, 42+ Women for Peace.

Manasprings refreshed me…I loved the teachings on Ethical Leadership and Time Management.

Transformational Leadership…I loved this event because of the empowerment of knowledge sharing, interaction with other leaders of different ethnicities and the various development work represented by the women. Manasprings has added to me as a Leader.

“I am learning so many things, like how to approach problems and find solutions within the community that are long-term solutions."

What I liked most was the oneness; the way we were free with one another…the spirit of tribalism was not in us.

The sharing upon arrival did a lot of transformation amongst the women. I learnt from the different women. Bringing us away from the noises of the town was beautiful. I work with children’s rights and I now have friends to refer children.

I am encouraged, empowered, motivated, influenced, connected, and have friends. I wish we could have more days like this. God bless you for teaching women like us.
