Girls First

Girls First is a ground-breaking conference dedicated to inspiring, empowering, and supporting girls to realize their full potential. The event aims to bring together girls from diverse backgrounds and interests to foster personal growth, leadership development, and meaningful connections.

Gender Committee

We are committed to bridging the gap of inequity between the genders, the First Citizens Foundation strives to empower women and men to fulfil their highest potential as gender inequality and imbalances of power have long been a concern for the global community. The focus on gender as a CSR pillar has allowed the Group to create socially impacting programmes which further this agenda. These include: The First Citizens Women Conference, First Citizens Girls First Festivals, The First Citizens Fund for The Advancement of Women, First Citizens Boys Symposium.

Advancement of Women Committee (AOW)

The purpose of the AOW Committee is to undertake programmes that assist in safeguarding and promoting the health and wellbeing of women and children affected by domestic violence, abuse and related issues.
