The Woman of Stature Awards stand as a testament to the incredible strength, resilience, and contributions of women across South Africa, and globally.
The purpose of the awards is to accelerate the careers and businesses of women and although many are already prominent players in their respective communities, they have not necessarily fully developed or reached the peak of their success. This award provides many opportunities, gives them access to various platforms, helps them to develop their skills, talents, climb the ladder of success, get further faster, which they may find difficulty in doing on their own.
“What an honour it is to be recognised for this project and the love, dedication and hard work that has been going into this project for more than 20 years! I love what I do and I love our Mama Afrikas and the passion they show for their centres and their communities. Without them and the work that they do we would not have our project,” says Prof Elain Vlok, Clover Manager, Clover Mama Afrika Trust. “I am excited about the future and all the opportunities that await us and the new Mama Afrikas we are yet to discover!” she concludes.
