2022 Update: Africa Development Promise - Rising Up Rural East African Women
Welcome to travel + explore & play with Sallee Jay, where I am your host. 👋🏾💓‼️ I’m fresh off my second trip to Africa with Africa Development Promise, a non-profit organization whose mission is improve the lives and livelihoods of rural women in East Africa, through training and resources that support their collective efforts to operate competitively in the marketplace. However, while the primary focus is women, ADP is helping East African families with training and resources. The impact and reach are undeniable.
Last year when we travelled, the country was on lockdown due to Covid restrictions and while we were able to experience movement, the Africa and programming that I experienced this year was much different. Follow along as share this year’s ADP travel experience, provide updates regarding the cooperatives and programs and introduce you to some of the remarkable staff!
