It has been stressed many times, and we cannot overlook the inheritance of patriarchy within our society. This has nurtured a mindset in us whereby role assignments are gender-centred in a way it has been set what man and woman can and can’t do. Therefore this has set limits to women and girls, whereby it hinders them from taking part or performing well in sectors that are male-stereotyped.

This is how the Aweza Centre idea came into my mind through my mission design academic journey. The African Leadership University-ALU(where I'm schooling) has an approach that is beyond major, but also mission-driven for each student. Like any student at ALU, I have a mission that I have been working towards, and that is understanding the consistent existence of gender skills gap despite all the efforts invested in solving for it. While conducting my research, a common denominator came to my awareness, and that is -culture, whereby cultural role assignment had a play in the gender skill gap, as society has set limits to what girls and women take part in or not. This clearly reflects the reasons behind why certain domain are male stereotyped as well as women groomed for household tasks.

From the research's insights, I was able to identify what I believe could be hindering the different agendas of attaining the gender inclusion objectives, but also the grassroots as well to the gender skills gap challenge. This also led to the design of Aweza Center, a supplement solution to the different forces solving for gender parity. Aweza Center will serve high school girls, as this happens to be the time when academic choices are made in regards to passion and aspiring careers. It is also most importantly, the same time where the society around them starts defining for them what they can and can't pursue in regards to their gender.

The word of ''AWEZA'' was borrowed from a Swahili verb ''Kuweza'' that means ''to be able", therefore ''AWEZA'' stands for ''She is capable'' of doing anything, despite the limits set by social norms or cultures beliefs.
