Empowering African women to lead and succeed

Pan African Women Empowerment Network (PAWEN) is a social enterprise equipping African women with the CompetenceConfidence, and Connections they need to become successful business and career leaders.

A world where every African woman is inspired and empowered to maximise her potential.

This is a future where African women don’t just succeed within existing systems they transform them. Where the $42 billion financing gap is closed. Where senior leadership is no longer limited to fewer than one in four positions. Where the women who sustain economies also own and lead them.

This is not just about individual success. It is about creating a ripple effect where one woman’s achievement opens opportunities for others, where businesses grow and hire, where institutions become more inclusive, and where economies become stronger because women are fully at the table.

To build an ecosystem that equips African women with the competence, confidence and connections to lead and succeed in business and careers.
“For us,
it
is
really
about
helping
women
to
maximise
their
potential."

Founder, PAWEN
