When work and life do not seem enough despite glitz, glamour, fast cars and chic events ...In todays episode, Claudia is in conversation with Andrea Bury, founder of the Abury Foundation and Abury Hospitality Academy for Women in Marrakech.
In this episode you learn about how it is to move to Marrakech coming from Berlin, to try to understand and adapt to a new culture and different religion. In her three years, living in Marrakech, Andrea realised that girls and young women need not only support in getting a well rounded education, but have never been asked to begin with:"What is your dream in life. What do you want?" She spotted the need for empowerment to bring more young women into the workforce.
It all started with Andrea selling vintage Berber-Bags to be able to create opportunities of school attendance for girls. Fast forward, Andrea launched the Abury Hospitality Academy, a training program in the hospitality sector for underprivileged young women.
Over the past 15 years, Andrea and her growing team have been moving the foundation forward, in helping women to live a self determined life, by promoting equality, education and understanding.
Listen in to find out how you can support an intimate, purpose driven, small organisation that has big plans for the future and takes every girl along.
