Ivanka Trump in Ethiopia to 'promote women'

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47925874

President Donald Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, has arrived in Ethiopia to promote a US government initiative aimed at advancing women's participation in the workplace.
Ms Trump will visit women working in the coffee industry and a female-run textile facility.

Launched in February, the Women's Global Development and Prosperity (W-GDP) initiative aims to train women worldwide to help them get well-paying jobs.
The project is financed by a $50m fund within the US international development aid agency (USAid).

Ms Trump, who also serves as an adviser to her father, will attend a World Bank policy summit while in Ethiopia.

She tweeted ahead of the trip that she was "excited".

77 percent of Africa's population is under age 35 and any exposure they can get is helpful.

that's why they're flying around meeting all these people in other countries. He wants to let them take over so he can concentrate on cheating at golf.
