Having a BOLD
Impact
“It’s always been a dream of mine to build a network of individuals committed towards social impact in Africa tied to a sustainable business model. I believe we’ve found that with BOLD. I strongly believe that all men – especially BOLD Men can do more as allies and advocates to young girls and women challenges in Africa. Thus, 20% of all BOLD purchases goes towards a cause that supports women and young girls in Africa through the BOLD Foundation. Furthermore, we aim to double our commitment up to 50% of all purchases by 2025.”
Why ?
Gender inequality in Africa remains high, and progress toward gender parity has stagnated. This is a largely missed opportunity for African societies and for the continent’s growth prospects.
Leaders are born; yet many born female in rural parts of sub-Saharan Africa go unrecognized largely because, from day one, women and girls face a political, cultural, and social environment that inhibits their development into well-equipped female leaders.
In order to ensure women in Africa have the same opportunities as men to become leaders, all men, especially BOLD men must address the unique challenges facing women and girls to become the leaders they were born to be.
It’s more than a fashion statement, it’s a BOLD statement!
