About us
OUR VISION To capacitate women’s access to the agri-ecosystem, driving socio economic impact through a disruptive virtual and physical communities OUR STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE To build the agricultural ecosystem The percentages of women across Africa, engaged in agriculture are astounding. Despite the fact that women make up over 70% of the agricultural workforce, women own very little land. In some countries as low as 4%. In response to the current status of women in agriculture, AWiA, African Women in Agriculture was founded as an NPC in May 2018, by four women, with the purpose of promoting African women agri-preneurs. It is now managed by six women who are passionate about supporting young women in Africa to become agri-preneurs and through that, contribute to; - Entrepreneurship and employment - Food security - Shortened food miles - Education - Poverty alleviation

🚀 🚀🚀Update 🚀🚀🚀 AWiA (African Women in Agriculture)’s vision is to build the capacity of women in agriculture and related sectors through agriprenuership. Last weekend we partnered with Co-WIB and hosted a market day, whose objective was to offer the entrepreneurs access to market for their products. 🚀We had a total of 30 exhibitors, 15 in agribusiness and 15 in design. The market was attended by over 150 people and the networking was fantastic! 🚀Each entrepreneur has an amazing story and some shared their stories with us. It was an amazing experience! Join us next time! 🚀Partner with us, and let’s change the face of entrepreneurship! 🚀Thank you to all who supported this initiative! 🚀You rock!
