The 78th United Nations General Assembly commenced with meetings and events held all week by a cross section of global leaders, governments, private sector organisations groups as well leading philanthropic organisations like @warif_ng, global influencers and champions.
Our founder, Dr. Kemi DaSilva Ibru, had the pleasure of participating in a series of high level meetings and events focused on gender and the role of non-profit organisations like @warif_ng in strengthening the nexus of health, education and community service, while exploring global partnerships to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals including #SDG5 on Gender Equality.
Discussions on the midpoint of the @UN’s #SDGs marking a crucial period in the well-being of the adolescent girl and maternal healthcare were held @concordiasummit #BCIU. The Unique Role of Philanthropy in Tackling the SDGs in achieving the #UN2030agenda was also explored @apgorg and @milkeninstitute The Global African Business Initiative @Gabi convened by the DSG @aminamihammed themed #UnstoppableAfrica held enlightening panels and fireside conversations on unlocking growth, fostering social development and highlighting the immense potential of Africa and it’s opportunities.
