On this International Women’s Day, we take a moment to honor and celebrate the incredible contributions of our female volunteers who play a pivotal role in driving positive change within our community. Their dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment inspire us all as they tirelessly work to empower vulnerable children and foster a safer and more nurturing environment. These remarkable women exemplify the spirit of resilience, compassion, and leadership, serving as role models for future generations. As we commemorate this day, let us recognize and uplift the voices of women everywhere, acknowledging their invaluable role in building a more inclusive and equitable society. Happy International Women’s Day to our incredible female volunteers and to women around the world!
International Women’s Day transcends borders, cultures, and divides, serving as a universal platform to honor women’s accomplishments. Regardless of nationality, ethnicity, language, culture, economic status, or political affiliation, this day stands as a testament to the remarkable achievements of women worldwide.
Since its inception, International Women’s Day has evolved into a global movement, resonating with women in both developed and developing nations. Fueled by the momentum generated from four landmark United Nations women’s conferences, this commemoration has become a rallying cry for advancing women’s rights and enhancing their participation in political and economic spheres.
This year, under the theme “Inspire Inclusion: Investing in Women to Accelerate Progress,” the focus is squarely on addressing economic disempowerment and emphasizing the importance of diversity and empowerment across all sectors of society. This theme aligns seamlessly with Kenya Vision 2030’s Social Pillar, which seeks to foster equitable social development within a just and cohesive society, underscoring the pivotal role of investing in people.
This day aims to inspire a deeper understanding and appreciation for women’s inclusion, advocating for gender parity and the empowerment of women and girls. As the Art For Children Foundation, we extend our warmest wishes for a happy International Women’s Day to all the women and girls we have had the privilege to interact with, both physically and virtually, as we continue to work together towards a greater purpose.
