Krishna Morari 

Tech2Empower Nepal, Lithuania, and Caribbean

"I went to Nepal thinking I would have a unique opportunity to learn about the Nepali people and culture while providing a little bit of value in return; but I came back with endless self reflections, valuable lessons in my field of work, and exposure to opportunities where I can continue to make an impact. Tech2Empower empowered me while enabling me to empower others - I am out of words for how meaningful this program has been for me!"

Amy Graff
Accenture, Advisor, Tech2Empower Caribbean

“Tech2Empower Caribbean was an amazing opportunity to learn more about a region where I haven't spent much time, the challenges people are facing, and the work NGOs are doing to make their home a better place now and in the future. It was wonderful to finally use my professional skills for good and begin building a community of like-minded women who want to make a difference.”

IHeartMedia, Advisor, Tech2Empower Rwanda,  Tech2Empower Guatemala

“The WAKE team did a fantastic job preparing the group for the program in Kigali. I was truly blown away by how much thought, preparation and patience (answering everyone's many questions) went into it. This is my second trip with WAKE and I always come away feeling a strong sense of connection, revitalized, inspired and ready to do more. I feel like I'm living my life's purpose, all thanks to the work WAKE is doing to support women around the world.”
