Our Shared Beliefs
We believe that God created Males and Females Equal: The basis of equality is set in scripture which we believe is credible. "So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them"- Genesis 1 versus 27. Each one of us, male or female reflects the value God himself has. We are valued of God himself.
Do work that matters – Gloria Anzaldua. At Aya, we believe the work towards gender equality matters and it is an important one if we are to have a better, humane, peaceful, and prosperous world. Work that insists on fairness, equity, dignity and value for all matters. Again, we believe in making a difference, one of impact with our interventions and we are inspired and guided to undertake initiatives to “do work that matters’.

We see our work towards gender equality through the lens of the African Union on ‘Article 3 of the Protocol on Amendments of the Constitutive Act of the African Union’ which recognises the critical role of women in promoting inclusive development and the call “to ensure the effective participation of women in decision-making, particularly in the political, economic and socio-cultural areas.”
