Our Mission
Affempreneurs work started in 2021 to tackle systemic barriers faced by young women micro-entrepreneurs within Sub-Saharan Africa, including:
- Lack of business and financial training
- Limited access to mentorship
- Poor access to capital
- Minimal mental health and wellbeing support
We have already supported over 100 young women through our programs, helping them to build their businesses and transform their communities.
Our commitment to sustainability ensures that we create lasting change, focusing on ethical practices that benefit both individuals and communities.
Our dedicated team includes experts in gender justice, economic empowerment, and business development, all working together to support our mission.
Our team members specialize in areas such as wellbeing, community development, and financial resilience, ensuring comprehensive support for our entrepreneurs.
