OUR FOUNDER
Jennifer Akong
Jennifer Akong is the founder of A Thousand Women, a women-led organisation created from a deep commitment to improving the lives of women and girls across Africa.
Through her work in fashion, community development, digital advocacy, and social impact, Jennifer recognised that many women and girls face barriers that limit their ability to thrive.
This inspired the creation of A Thousand Women, an organisation focused on education, empowerment, menstrual equity, and creating opportunities where women and girls can access the support they need.
