Pauline grew up in an abusive home, where domestic violence, verbal and emotional abuse expressed towards mum and herself. Being exposed to gender-based violence, as a young child, made her realize that women were treated differently. She knew she had to do something, be a voice and an ally, for the countless women like her mum. Empowered Africa was her way of doing something because as bad as her mum’s situation was, there were other women whose situations were so dire because they had no career. Empowered Africa was her way of being a solution and getting others on board. Empowered Africa works towards the alleviation of the hardships that women, orphans and the financially disadvantaged suffer. Empowered Africa is dedicated to finding ways and means of making education and other reliefs available to as many people as possible. Pauline believes that alleviating hardships by giving people education, tertiary skills including self-sustainability is so much better than handouts because it is sustainable. She asserts that what her organization (Empowered Africa) does keeps people from premature death, which may come as a result of gender-based violence, HIV Aids, and poverty.
