Additional Information

Ogunte is a Social Innovations Development company focused on women-led social ventures. WHY WE DO THIS? To grow a futurecentric economy that is kind to people and planet, we need to tap in women's contribution to accelerate change. They have talent, wisdom and local knowledge that we cannot afford to waste and push off in the corner. Our mission is to support thousands of these women globally to accelerate change. One way we do this is to organise Women’s Social Leadership Awards. Started in 2007, they aim to make women who make a social and environmental impact, more visible, more credible, more mainstream. Winners and Finalists get mentoring and coaching, media opportunities and business leads. This year's Awards will be taking place in Central London on June 10th, 2013.
