Every Circle Is a Step Forward
Dira Dada's programmes are designed to meet young women exactly where they are — and walk with them toward who they are becoming.
3 Development Circles
Jitambue · Kua · Ongoza
Three Paths, One Destination
Jitambue
Know Yourself
The first circle is about radical self-knowledge. Before a young woman can choose her direction, she must understand her identity, values, and unique gifts. Through guided conversations, journaling, and group sessions, participants explore who they are beneath the noise.
What you will gain
- Clarify personal values and beliefs
- Identify natural strengths and talents
- Build healthy self-image and confidence
- Develop an authentic personal narrative
Duration
8 weeks
Format
Weekly group sessions + 1-on-1 mentoring
