Celebrating a Phenomenal Woman

Betty highlights various challenges women face in leadership positions, such as cultural norms, constitutional barriers, public speaking, and the burden of household responsibilities.

In her organization, she prioritizes inclusivity and support, with three out of four top management positions held by women.

Their partnership with ActionAid has been instrumental in empowering women through training, financial support, and exposure opportunities. ActionAid's contribution during crises, such as civil war, mudslides, Ebola, and COVID-19, has been significant in supporting vulnerable communities.
