Earlier in the year, we officially launched The Peak Performer Africa, a portal and a magazine dedicated to providing essential insights to every leader seeking growth in their pursuit of greatness. Since the inception of CHAMP in 2012, we have delivered different projects towards SDG 5, The Peak Performing Woman Project is our renewed commitment to SDG 5 designed to enable more women to live beyond misperceptions, stereotypes and misplaced emotions that could limit the God-given exceptional nature within the woman for the development of humanity. TPP Woman of The Year is the 3rd level of action in this renewed commitment”.

Therefore, as we celebrate outstanding women here today and launch the women empowerment tool, our aim with TPP Woman Project is to equip 1 million women with the insights from the book to deliver excellence as career professionals, entrepreneurs, social innovators, and political office and the estimated budget for this project is $ 1 million (One million USD). The proceeds from this launch will be funding that.”
