Motsepe Foundation’s 9th Annual Global Empowerment Women’s Advancement and Leadership (GEWAL) Summit, held on March 7, 2025

Dear Mr. Motsepe,

I hope this letter finds you well. On behalf of SayPro, I would like to extend our sincerest congratulations and heartfelt appreciation to you and the entire Motsepe Foundation team for the incredible success of the 9th Annual Global Empowerment Women’s Advancement and Leadership (GEWAL) Summit, held on March 7, 2025.

The summit was an extraordinary event that not only highlighted the transformative power of women’s leadership but also provided a platform for meaningful dialogue and collaboration among global thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers. The caliber of the speakers, the depth of the discussions, and the diversity of perspectives represented were nothing short of inspiring. It was truly a privilege to be part of this monumental occasion.

The Motsepe Foundation’s unwavering commitment to empowering women and advancing gender equality has been an inspiration to many, and the GEWAL Summit was a testament to this vision. The sessions on leadership development, economic empowerment, and social justice were impactful and thought-provoking, providing actionable insights for the women and men who attended. I was particularly moved by the emphasis on mentorship, education, and the role of technology in enabling women to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. These are essential areas for fostering systemic change, and the summit provided a dynamic space for engaging with them.
Moreover, the seamless execution of the event—ranging from the organization of the panels, workshops, and networking opportunities to the warmth and hospitality extended to all participants—was exemplary. The attention to detail, the careful curation of topics, and the collaborative spirit embodied by all attendees made the summit not just an event, but a movement toward greater gender equity and social justice.

I was deeply inspired by the women leaders who shared their stories, challenges, and successes. Their courage and resilience in the face of adversity serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of lifting one another up. The summit truly captured the essence of collective empowerment and demonstrated how, together, we can break down barriers and build a more inclusive and equitable world.
Once again, I would like to extend my profound gratitude to you and the Motsepe Foundation for your visionary leadership in creating such a transformative experience. The impact of the 9th Annual GEWAL Summit will resonate for years to come, and I am confident that the conversations and connections sparked during the event will continue to drive meaningful change in communities worldwide.
We are already looking forward to next year’s summit and are eager to continue partnering with the Motsepe Foundation in advancing the cause of women’s empowerment.

Thank you once again for your outstanding leadership, commitment, and dedication to the empowerment of women. It has been a true honor to be a part of this incredible event.
