Africa’s women eco-preneurs make a difference to the planet, and a profit

Africa’s critical environmental challenges require immediate and effective solutions, that’s a fact. The world is facing more such challenges today than ever before, and Africa is feeling the harsh impact of many of these problems, from environmental degradation and deforestation, to shrinking water supplies, threats to biodiversity, lack of affordable green housing, and waste management issues. Innovative and effective solutions are needed and increasing attention is now being paid to the role that women entrepreneurs are playing on the continent in helping to provide possible solutions to many of these environmental problems. And the continent’s women eco-preneurs are showing themselves capable of rising to this challenge by building innovative green businesses capable of addressing environmental problems, whilst at the same time creating jobs and opportunities for communities to thrive. Africa’s women entrepreneurs really can make a difference to the planet, while still turning a profit.
