Make a Wave award offering training and grant for aspiring female leaders
The Oguntê - UnLtd - Make A
Wave Award is a 'kickstart and thinking" scheme (worth up to £1000 in a
combination of grant and training) made to women in the UK who can show that a
very small amount of money, paired up with a resourceful brain, can be used to
make a difference.
So, if you are an aspiring female social leader,
if you haven't had the opportunity to shine yet and would like to pilot your
project or your campaign, please apply!
Ogunte are looking for ideas
that fit with the values of UnLtd's mission to reach out and unleash the
energies of people who can transform the world in which they live. Your ideas need to be aligned with
Oguntê's Women in Social Leadership vision: inspiration, entrepreneurship,
networking, confidence, and sustainability.
Think about ways to
generate income after your pilot to avoid reliance on
grants.
