A social venture that provides young women micro-entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa with business skills, mentorship, financial resources, and wellbeing support, to start and sustain successful enterprises.
Affempreneurs empowers women-led micro-enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa
Young women micro-entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa face limited access to business skills, mentorship, financial resources, and wellbeing support, hindering their ability to start and sustain successful enterprises.
Affempreneurs provides a structured 7-month programme combining entrepreneurship training, mentorship, peer networking, mental health and wellbeing support, and access to micro-loans or seed grants tailored for underserved women in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The social venture empowers women with critical business skills, mental health support, and financial resources to build resilient, sustainable enterprises, fostering economic independence and community growth.
Affempreneurs works with development organisations, local governments, NGOs, and private sector partners aiming to support women-led micro-enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa.
