Our ambassadors
They are high-achievers who have made their way to the top and who are actively committed to unleashing the potential of female leadership in Africa. Simply put they are change agents. They engage their male peers to drive the gender equity agenda with greater urgency. They mentor their younger sisters whenever they can, wherever they can. They champion our WFC initiatives at grassroots and international level through the leveraging of their respective communities and the articulation & implementation of game changing projects such as the Gender Diversity Charter. They keep our community alive and act as regional chapters for West, Central, North, East and Southern Africa.
Meet them.

Our community
Our women’s community is made up of over 1000 members: senior leaders, aspiring leaders, opinion leaders, all hungry for change and driven to succeed.
They are based all over Africa and overseas: they attend our different events and partake into our various initiatives. They give us feedback. They table the challenges faced by African businesswomen in their respective business environments. They put forward suggestions or recommendations. They also interact with one another on an ongoing basis and share one single common goal: thrive and advance the agenda of women leaders in Africa.
Our partners
Women Working for Change (WFC) prides itself on collaborating with iconic institutions, personnalities and various associations across Africa and on a worldwide basis. They keep on growing in number so as to support our action. They play a key role in our success. They form an integral part of our community.
