Toronto - The Ask Her Talks: African Women on Philanthropy, Change & Power

It’s time to shift the conversation — to challenge our understanding and beliefs about how philanthropy can truly improve the human condition.

There are remarkable leaders in Africa at the community level. Women are at the heart of the response to AIDS, are overwhelmingly the frontline health care workers, are tackling the epidemic of sexual violence — and yet we rarely, if ever, hear from them. African women are leading the way, and are experts on what works, what kind of support is most effective, and what challenges need to be met.

Five dynamic African women will speak about what happens when crises strike — such as the AIDS pandemic, Ebola, the kidnapping of Nigerian girls, and sexual violence in conflict — and the role that philanthropy should now play in a transformative response.

We would love to have you join us for the inaugural Ask Her Talks, which promise to be enlightening, stimulating and provocative. It’s time to hear directly from the experts.

Doors Open: 6:30pm

Ask Her Talks: 7:00pm with reception to follow
