WEDO brings women together :: Mmegi Online

Friday November 19 was a day that women entrepreneurs all over the world could call their own. In celebration of this day, Women Entrepreneurship Day Organisation (WEDO) Botswana Ambassador Lebogang Gaobakwe hosted women in business to a brunch not only to celebrate and commemorate this day but also to acknowledge each other and the value they bring to the community.

The theme of this year’s commemoration was: “Partnering to learn, empower, and grow.” Gaobakwe spoke of the need to embrace the changes that the Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought to the way business interacts with human beings. She spoke of the need to think globally and embrace technology as an enabler to humanity while acknowledging that it is important to build relationships locally.

WEDO is an international non-government volunteer organisation that accelerates and educates the world on the importance of the need to empower women in business globally. WEDO convenes business leaders, change makers, government officials and civil society to collaborate and find solutions in critical areas of entrepreneurship eco-systems, education and policy creation to empower women in business.
