Dedicated to the economic development and support of African Women Entrepreneurs.
WIA Philanthropy is dedicated to the economic development and support of African Women Entrepreneurs.
WIA believes that African women, as agents of action, change and impact on the economies are the chance of the continent.
WIA is on a mission to support 10 000 African Women Entrepreneurs by 2030 !
WHY WIA ?
•Women are the backbone of the African economy. The African continent has the highest percentage of women entrepreneurs in the world. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2016/17 Women’s Report(link is external), the female entrepreneurship rate in sub-Saharan Africa is 25.9% of the female adult population, meaning that one in four women starts or manages a business. (Source: AfDB)
•Women typically reinvest up to 90% of their income in the education, health and nutrition of their family and community - compared to up to 40% for men. This means that investing in women’s businesses can transform societies. (Source: AFDB)
• Gender inequality costs Africa $95 billion a year, that is 6% of the continent's GDP. (Source: McKinsey)
