The Women Getaway event, now in its fourth year, aims to provide a platform for women to come together, share experiences, and empower one another. According to Vanessa Umwizerwa, the event is not just a conference or social gathering, but a unique opportunity for women to connect, learn from each other, and build meaningful relationships. The event brings together women from various sectors, including business, leadership, and professional fields.

The event's primary objective is to empower women to recognize their potential, build confidence, and overcome challenges. Umwizerwa emphasizes that every woman has unique experiences, skills, and dreams, and that these can be leveraged to achieve personal and professional growth. The event provides a safe space for women to share their stories, exchange ideas, and support one another.

This year's theme, "The Power of Her," highlights the importance of women's empowerment and their role in shaping their communities. The event will feature inspiring stories, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, all designed to equip women with the tools and motivation needed to succeed. The event's program includes discussions on women's empowerment, testimonies, music, dance, and recreational activities.

Women Getaway 2026 will take place on December 5-6, 2026, in Bugesera. The two-day event is designed to provide a holistic experience, allowing women to connect, relax, and recharge. The event's organizers believe that women need a break from their daily routines to reflect on their lives, goals, and aspirations.

According to Umwizerwa, the event is not just about listening to inspiring stories, but also about creating a supportive community that fosters growth and development. The event's goal is to help women build meaningful relationships, identify new opportunities, and develop the confidence to pursue their dreams.

The event's program includes a range of activities, including panel discussions, testimonies, music, dance, and recreational activities. These activities are designed to provide a unique experience for women, allowing them to connect, learn, and have fun. The event's organizers believe that this approach will help women to relax, recharge, and rediscover themselves.

Ultimately, the Women Getaway event aims to empower women to become change-makers in their communities. By providing a platform for women to connect, learn, and grow, the event's organizers hope to inspire a new generation of women leaders and entrepreneurs. The event's impact is expected to extend beyond the two-day gathering, with participants expected to return to their communities equipped with new skills, knowledge, and inspiration.
