The She Magnate Project is a project that was organized with focus on ladies between the
ages of 18 and 25 years. This edition of the She Magnate Project (the “Project” or “SMP”) is
its maiden edition. The purpose of this Project was to instill the spirit of leadership and
entrepreneurship in the 21st century female youth. This project is in response to the group’s
assertion that females are key players and very influential in society.
The project commenced on January 15, 2015 and was held every fortnight. The venues for
the meeting were rotated from place to place to suit the purpose or theme of every session.
The project attracted ladies between the ages of 18 and 25 years, who were trained on
