Mission
Availing platforms that expose high school girls to opportunities that forge in them the right mindset of being catalysts of challenging gender odds embedded in social norms that could hinder their full inclusions in the development of their communities and nation.
Joss Divin Ndikubwayo is a senior student currently pursuing a BA(Hons) in Global Challenges at the African Leadership University(ALU), with special focus on education. Joss is a continuous learner enthusiast and passionate about youth empowerment, mostly on gender inclusion matters. His passion for gender inclusion is something that was triggered during his childhood.
At an early age, he witnessed gender inequality and unfairness whereby his mother was discriminated for being a single parent. Since then, he pledged to invest in girls and women's rightful inclusion in society.
Joss has been since a pro-inclusion advocate and taking in activities in regards to availing knowledge to everyone without exception of gender or belonging to any minority. With that in mind, through his Global Challenge studies, he has been working on understanding ‘’the influence of cultural roles distribution on the current gender skill gap in Rwanda’’ and design approaches on how to attain to this challenges through empowering high school girls.
Therefore this capstone project will be an opportunity for him to conduct to explore the patterns behind the gender skill-gap that are prevailing despite tremendous efforts in place to promote gender inclusion, using Rwanda as a case study. This will be an opportunity to identify the grassroots of the challenge and come up with a sustainable approach to attain to it.
