Imagine: I am, I can!

“AGENCY” = The belief inside a woman that enables
her to take effective action to improve her life. 

A woman with AGENCY believes she has control of her destiny. 

The IMAGINE initiative empowers women in challenging life circumstances in developing world countries to envision and create new possibilities for their lives.

Imagine is a training program that offers a four-day training program called the “Empowerment Workshop,” developed by David Gershon and Gail Straub, pioneers of the field of empowerment and founders and co-directors of Empowerment Institute. It has successfully been applied over 30 years in more than 40 countries worldwide.

 IMAGINE is being implemented now in six countries: Afghanistan, India, Jordan, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa.

“…with a vision for their lives, these women become inspired human beings who
inspire their children, friends and husbands.” – D. Gershon

“I come from Nigeria and my greatest learning from the IMAGINE Program was
discovering my power and my dreams in the Empowerment Workshop’s seven areas of life:
emotions, relationships, sexuality, body, money, work, and spirituality.”
