Supporters Help AWEC to Change the Lives of African Business Women

AWEC is grateful to the foundations, corporations, and individuals who support our work. Their support is critical to enabling us to deliver on our mission to empower African women entrepreneurs to build resilient and scalable businesses.

We value equally the time, knowledge, talent, and financial contributions that we have received from multinational corporations - including Google, EY, Facebook, and Pfizer - and impassioned individuals who share our commitment to changing lives through equalizing access knowledge and networks. For a full list of supporters, please see the Annual Reports on the AWEC Impact page.
