OUR MANDATE

Power Women 232 is a network of women professionals in Sierra Leone. The network aims to create an ecosystem of professional and entrepreneurial women who promote career advancement and leadership development. 

We aim to meet this mandate through the provision of opportunities for networking, support, social events, and community service.

OUR HERSTORY

In May 2014, the idea of Power Women 232 was just that, an idea. Several Power Women members had been invited to a meeting with Evelyn Oputu, the former Managing Director of Bank of Industry in Nigeria by the then Gender Adviser to the President, Madam Naasu Fofanah in February 2014. The meeting with Ms. Oputu was extremely powerful. She challenged us, called us out and told us about her 'Circle of Women' who meet regularly to socialize, do good and do business.

She challenged us to set up a network for professional women, to make our first million and to work better together as women. This is something that was truly missing in Sierra Leone. We all felt there was a need. We were thrilled! Fired up! We agreed upon and then cancelled numerous meetings in the months that followed. We were going down the path of most dreams and ideas...nowhere. READ THE REST OF OUR HERSTORY HERE...
