Women at the Well (W@W) of the Living Water Charity Organisation held a global convention to speak on capacity building, improved welfare, and emancipation for victimized women, young teenagers, and girl-child at 73728 Esslingen am Neckar CVJM Esslingen e. V., Germany.

The W@W Convention is a veritable platform that provides an educational/institutional framework to bring women from different walks of life, countries, and continents to the same page to showcase and rebrand womanhood and present their best in all aspects to the world’s huge collaborative network, partnership, advocacy dialogue, and capacity building for cooperation.

In her keynote address, the Founder/Chief Executive Officer, Pastor Mrs. Jessica Edmund stated that the convention is an avenue for interaction and discovery of new leadership opportunities, mindsets, skills, attitudes, recognizing and accepting change mantra for the encouragement and empowerment of greater female leadership and entrepreneurship.

She noted that over the years, lots of women, especially single parents, and young people are victimized, ignored, abused, deprived, and looked down upon for daring to have a dream.

“Women need to harness the power of collaboration and networking in supporting one another to the enormous challenges facing gender equality, women empowerment, and in closing the gender pay gap, mentoring, encouragement, women entrepreneurship, personal transformative stories, expertise and knowledge should be shared to encourage other women.

” One thing I would like every participant to take away from this convention is to spread the message as widely as possible because there is no limit to what a woman can become…..” you are made for more,” she said.

Then, Pastor Edmund hinted that members will be supported financially to attend conferences as a means to educate and widen their skills and knowledge.

“We would organize a series of jobs, vocational interviews techniques skills acquisition training programs, seminars, and workshops, to eliminate societal stigma against womanhood, and gender inequalities across the globe.

” And also create an inclusive environment where every woman and youth will have independence, find their voices, tell their stories and be in a community center where everyone can live and thrive without the fear of being bullied to submission, intimidation, or stigmatization,” pastor Edmund said.

In his speech, the Global Patron, W@W, Prince Henry Egenti Ph.D., from the United Kingdom, lauded Pastor Edmund, her executives, and the organizers for working so hard over the past few months, to ensure the event was a success.

He noted; “Pastor Mrs. Jessica Edmund is one woman that the women in the world can turn to for a first-hand perspective to provide expert support, advice, and guidance in skills development, peer mentoring, advocacy, education, and training.

“And as well for healthy living and wellbeing among others mainly but not exclusively to lone female parents, teenage parents, young girls from single parents, households, and teenage girls on streets, and or on drugs-to support a life of fulfillment,” he said.
