Our Corporate Development Manager, Henna Hemnani, is so committed that she even uses her holiday to raise funds for EMpower. In her own words:
“This March, my husband Ishaan and I have decided to set our sights high and trek Mount Everest Base Camp. The journey should take about 14 days reaching 5,380 metres. I imagine it will be wildly beautiful and I am certain it will be very challenging! Even so, I feel fortunate to be able to have such an experience and I would like to take the opportunity to raise some funds for a charity close to my heart: EMpower.
With a mission to empower marginalised youth in emerging market countries, I am inspired on a daily basis by the work EMpower do to help young people reach their fullest potential. I grew up in Nigeria and India and it’s because of this exposure that I have a personal passion for this charity. When I visited our grantee partners in Ghana, I saw first hand the difference their work can make to these exceptional and bright young people, and I fully share EMpower’s mission to provide better opportunities in these emerging markets.”
We are so proud of Henna to take on this challenge! Support Henna by clicking here!
