The virtual showcases gave each of the 128 participants a chance to share their progress and celebrate their achievements over the past eight months.

The eight-month programme provided selected Facebook groups’ community leaders with training, mentorship and funding. It also provided leaders with the opportunity to showcase their vision for the future to an audience of their peers and external partners.
