Rasha Kelej
Kelej is an Egyptian senator who, undoubtedly the least known, is probably on this list the most-traveled, most vibrant and most connected with a wider range of issues affecting African women and Africa’s development.
Kelej was chose ahead of Okonjo-Iweala by the New African Woman Magazine UK to be “African Woman of the Year 2020″. It is the third time Kelej the 48-year-old has won the honor.
Kelej’s work is primarily corporate governance, building bridges between between government and corporations through her Merck Foundation to seek answers to health, education and political crises which have adverse effects on women in Africa.
This year, with the COVID-19 pandemic raging, Kelej rose to the task, offering help to women’s groups but also through the major initiative of training more than 600 doctors from about 25 African countries for the public health crisis.
