Supporting Young African Women
AFFIRM Woman is a non-profit social enterprise that trains and supports African girls and young women between the ages of 12 and 25. We work with them to take ownership of their personal development, welfare, wellbeing, and life experiences. We work in line with the African Union Commission Agenda 2063’s Aspirations for the Africa We Want and the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
Driven by Passion, Empowered by Community
We are passionate about improving the lived experiences of our members and believe in the power of mutual support, encouragement and friendship. Hence, fostering a community spirit is integral to our cause – not only to enable individuals to positively impact the lives of those around them today, but also to create more opportunities for future generations of young women.
What we offer
Personal Development
At AFFIRM Woman, we are committed to providing African girls and women with the resources and guidance they need to reach their full potential. Our personal development programmes are designed to help young women increase their self-confidence, leadership skills, core values, and other important life skills.
Entrepreneurial Growth
We offer a range of entrepreneurial training and networking opportunities to young women in Africa. Our programmes provide the skills and resources needed to help them explore their business ideas and launch their own start-ups. Our events are a great way to build connections, network with other entrepreneurs, get inspiration and explore funding
