The mission of the Odyssey Conservation Trust is to conserve biodiversity through local and indigenous women. We improve the quality of life of women by using a holistic approach which links their well-being to the health of their environment and the health of their animals - an approach called One Health. By valorizing their traditional environmental knowledge and breaking the poverty cycle into which local women's lives are entangled, we promote the role of indigenous women as custodians of unique biocultural heritages.

Established in 2013, Project Soar (PS) is a registered Moroccan charitable association and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the US, headquartered in Marrakech. With a mission to empower teen girls to become the leaders of today and tomorrow, our signature girls’ empowerment curriculum is designed to equip marginalized teen girls with the skills and confidence to build more productive futures. Project Soar envisions a world where every marginalized teen girl knows her value, voice, body, rights and path. We're here to ignite a movement where girls are not just participants but trailblazers in the journey toward global gender equality. These girls become role models and change-makers, driving meaningful projects that address critical challenges. Together, we’re building a more equitable, sustainable world, one girl at a time. To date, Project Soar has empowered more than 30,000 girls and operates across 41 sites in Morocco, each serving as a hub for the next generation of female leaders. Our model has expanded beyond Morocco to Uganda, Lebanon, Syria, Guinea, and Ivory Coast, adapting our programme for new contexts while building local partners’ capacity to sustain the work. What began as a local initiative in Morocco has evolved into a scalable girl-powered movement across the MENA region and sub-Saharan Africa.

The Eve Branson Foundation is a small non-profit based in Morocco, spearheaded by Richard Branson's mum, Eve Branson. The mission of the Eve Branson Foundation (EBF) is to provide young people with artisanal skills-training and to preserve traditional Moroccan and Berber crafts, enriching the lives of local families from Atlas Mountain communities. Since 2005, our collaborative programmes have helped to sustain livelihoods in the region and we continue to work in close partnership with award-winning hotel Kasbah Tamadot. To achieve better living standards, EBF works at a community level to develop initiatives in four key areas: artisanal training; environment, healthcare and education. Eve's vision was for a community where young people, women and men, have opportunities to earn a living and build a secure and healthy future. Today, EBF provides training to more than 75 local young women and men across three craft centres, offering programmes in weaving, carpet-making, embroidery, tailoring and woodworking. Each centre encourages the production and selling of artisan goods so that the young people are able to generate a small income for themselves and their families. Since the beginning, we have worked hand in hand with the team at Kasbah Tamadot, who employ over 98% local staff, to enhance living standards in some of the most impoverished communities surrounding the property. We believe in working in partnership with each village to bring about transformations both economically and socially, and have learned through mutual respect and determination, how to successfully combine our entrepreneurial spirit with the Berber culture.

Leveraging technology to end social injustices

Good governance ensures accountability, fairness, and transparency throughout our social, governmental, and business systems. On the African continent, women are underrepresented at every level in the workplace, especially in senior leadership roles. According to the UN, this type of unequal treatment of women in the workplace has cost Sub-Saharan Africa approximately $105bn and has significant implications on the utilization of the continents full human capital potential and achievement of its development goals. The Boardroom Africa was borne out of these realities. We champion female leadership on a pan-African level by building a network of women leaders who collectively dispel the myth that there aren't enough qualified women to support the growth of the continent. We help build role models at the top to change the way organizations are led through our educational content. We offer a board training program for women across the continent and to date, we've trained 64+ women. We also have built a community of over 1,000 women on the continent leading change and deliver open webinars, trainings, and meetups to upskill this network. Finally, we've conducted publicly released research on 13 African countries to assess the gender gap in their companies. We want to shift the demand by ensuring society realizes the benefits of increased female participation in leadership, and create an ecosystem of women who can go into the world and inspire others.
