The OUISSAL journey continues to unfold its magic! This time, our voyage led us to the vibrant city of Algiers leading our mentoring program for the first time in Algeria!

22 aspiring women leaders from diverse businesses from Germany and Algeria, came together to embark on this transformative journey. The workshop week was filled with sharing of experience, empowerment, knowledge, networking, and lots of fun.

A special shout-out to the German Ambassador to Algeria, H.E. Elisabeth Woblers, for graciously inviting us to her residence for a delightful networking reception with great organizations and personalities such as GIZ Algeria, AHK Algérie, UIA Union Internationale des Avocats, SEVE Algérie, and more. The warm hospitality and engaging conversations added tremendous value to our kick-off week.

We extend our sincere gratitude to Clara Gruitrooy, the visionary behind OUISSAL, and Daniela Greiffendorf, our workshop leader, for their unwavering commitment to empowering aspiring women leaders. Last but not least, thanks to the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and Agentur für Wirtschaft und Entwicklung for their great support! 

As we bid farewell to Algiers, our next and final destination awaited us in the beautiful Jordan.
