Remmie Male is the Founder of the
Women of Valor foundation which works to help empower women and the youth
economically through Mentorship, Executive Coaching and entrepreneurial
motivational talks. After acquiring a BA in Economics from Makerere University,
Kampala she founded an events management and Public Relations firm in 2004,
Jamboree et Rendezvous which has worked on projects that fundraise and focus on
empowering the youth economically to bring harmony, prosperity and the general
well being of the individuals in her community. Women of Valor, another of her
start-ups, was initially one of the events she conceptualized and organized for
Jamboree et Rendezvous annually to help the women in East Africa but with its
success and magnitude of demand it was officially turned into a foundation in
2011. Ms. Male is also one of the organizers of the Vital Voices Global Women’s
mentoring walks both in Uganda and Tanzania. She is currently working on five
community projects concurrently that is: The Women of Valor Foundation, Africa
Tumefika Charity Fashion Shows and design schools, Beauty for Ashes Christian
Women's Outreach Mission, Fistula Advocacy Fundraising Balls and Rising star
female Youth Empowerment Program in partnership with Ceda international.
Annually, The Women of Valor Foundation scouts for 30 women mentors who have
experience and are recognized icons in our society and pairs them each with two
younger women (mentees) for the period of one year making it a group of 90 women
for each year. Upon return from the Community Solutions Program Fellowship
Remmie Male plans to expand The Women of
Valor Foundation - women empowerment project into the rural population, this is
owing to the fact that the initial programme was only urban based yet 85% of
the women in Uganda are in the rural areas. That will expand the number of
women helped annually to 330. She also plans to officially launch the Women of
Valor television programme which will act as a media mentoring tool for the
region.
