about

Their efforts ensure that local country teams can concentrate on their daily operations and excel in what they do best: providing rural women with doorstep access to essential knowledge, skills, and tools.

A word from our changemaker in The Netherlands
Dave Jongeneelen
What did you do before Buzz?
I was founder of Better Future, a global leadership consulting firm that helps leaders and organisations become more purposeful and impact driven.
​
Why did you start Buzz Women?
​The idea came when I was leading a leadership session in a village in The Gambia. During a break, many people from the village joined our session. Their eagerness to learn made me think: how can we reach those who don't have access to education, in particular women. The idea of bringing the school to them, rather than them going to school, was born that day.
