Give a short history of the leader gender links came to my village the time we re about to elect a councilor for the local government, and gl encouraged us to involve ourselves as women we also have s right to be leaders
Objectives I would like to achieve my goal and see myself as a successful business women and a good leader leading by examples
Key activities the nature of my work is to make sure that everyone in the community live a good live and bring their basic needs upfront.even though its a good thing to help people its also challenging because our government does not provide or answer us in time
Key challenges living a rural areas is very challenge due to the norms that women should submit to their husband ,men argue and complain that I am misleading their wifes and encourage them to disrespect them
