About the Awards
CSR leadership recognizes organizations and individuals who demonstrate ethical governance, inclusive leadership, and measurable social impact.
This CESRA initiative empowers vulnerable and emerging women through leadership development, professional integration, and structured participation in verified CSR programs.
Annually, over 200 women are supported through a 3-tier pathway, delivered through the Miss Corporate Kenya platform and governed under CESRA’s accountability framework.
Enroll NowWhy it Matters
Many women face economic precarity, underemployment, and limited pathways to leadership.
Women often lack access to mentorship, visibility, and professional networks.
CSR programs frequently exclude women from leadership and decision-making roles.
There is a need for structured, accountable programs that translate training into real opportunity.
Program Objectives
Build leadership confidence, communication skills, and professional readiness.
Support women’s social and professional integration through exposure and mentorship.
Enable women-led or women-driven CSR initiatives with measurable community impact.
Strengthen accountability through documentation, reporting, and ethical oversight.
