IMPACT BEYOND
When women grow, the world around them grows too.
NYOTA participants, NYOTA graduates, and Women of Hope are doing more than transforming their own lives—they are transforming the lives of everyone around them. Families are strengthened. Communities are lifted. Hope becomes contagious.
Their impact doesn’t stop with them. It ripples outward, to children who see what’s possible, to neighbors who are inspired to step up, to communities that dare to dream differently.
Witness the difference they are making. Celebrate the ripple. Be part of the story.
Impact Now partners with women in the DRC to strengthen their leadership capacity and influence in their organizations and communities so those communities can thrive.
NYOTA LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
NYOTA Leadership Program is a six-month, cohort-based, professional development program for women leaders in eastern DRC. NYOTA is Swahili with two primary meanings: star and destiny.
NYOTA participants are stars that light the way toward toward hope for their organizations, their communities, and their country.
NYOTA participants create a new destiny for themselves with confidence, resilience, and knowledge, they will “mainfest their leadership despite the male-dominant context they are working in” (NYOTA Team Member).
