Scaling the Impact of Africa’s Women Leaders and Entrepreneurs
At WIA Philanthropy, we scale women’s leadership and entrepreneurship across Africa — unlocking education, opportunity, and innovation to power sustainable growth.
Our Mission
We amplify African women’s leadership by:
- Providing access to networks, mentors, and decision-makers
- Equipping women with knowledge and skills to lead confidently
- Creating opportunities to expand impact locally, regionally, and globally
Through programs, advocacy, and research, we ensure women’s leadership becomes a driving force for Africa’s sustainable growth.
How We Work
We collaborate with local ecosystems, experts, and institutions to design programs that are relevant, inclusive, and scalable. By combining global networks with local insights, we strengthen both individual leadership and the broader African entrepreneurial landscape.
