I am a passionate believer that women entrepreneurs can be incredibly impactful agents for change across Africa, given the right support, and the research data supports this belief. Africa has the highest levels of women’s entrepreneurship in the world, and entrepreneurial energy abounds across the continent, but for women entrepreneurs to fulfill their potential and grow game-changing businesses, they need to be better supported. Africa's women entrepreneurs are potentially amazing engines for economic growth and job creation, driving the two biggest employing sectors, agriculture and the artisan sector. Africa's women entrepreneurs are the most effective agents for equitably distributing economic growth, investing 90% of what they make back into their communities. At Lionesses of Africa, we believe women entrepreneurs can be at the centre of correcting inequality on the African continent. Together with our Impact Partners, we're on a mission to help them and their businesses achieve their full potential and create meaningful and lasting socio-economic change.
