About Us

She Forum Africa is a robust and vibrant community of inspiring women and young females who share a common value for a global society where everyone lives, works, and thrives in their chosen endeavour without the burdensome handicaps of perceived or real stereotypes.

Through our strategic advocacy and influence, we work to foster inclusive sustainable development, equitable access to opportunities, and a shared humanity on the African continent.

Our priority areas include Women Development, Leadership Grooming, Girl-Child Education, Intergenerational Mentorship, Economic Empowerment & Entrepreneurial Growth Support and Women’s Health.

From when we first convened in a room of thirty-five women and young females at our inaugural “Friendraiser Session” to mark the International Women’s Day in 2013, We have since evolved into a pan-african community with regional hubs in Eastern, Western and Southern Africa including a Diaspora Hub. The Hubs are Chaired by women leaders who have distinguished themselves as formidable agents of true development.

Our Vision: To serve as an Africa-led initiative to effect sustainable shifts in our continent’s value systems as they impact women and girls across development and decision-making spheres.

Our Mission: To amplify personal development opportunities for African women and girls through strategic mentoring and life-long learning within a home-grown, Africa-led Initiative.

Objectives:

  1. To bring women together to identify persisting gender issues hindering the growth and stifling the productivity of women and girls in local communities.
  2. To provide women and girls with capacity building tools that will enable them achieve sustainable livelihoods.
  3. To advocate and create awareness on health issues that affect women’s and girls’ productivity especially among vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
  4. To redefine & help articulate new and current gender priorities and map out contemporary strategies of addressing them.
  5. To cultivate a strengthened network of emerging voices for the effective representation of Women and girls’ issues across decision-making platforms.
  6. To partner with development institutions to create and expand opportunities for women-led innovations and STEM Education for Girls.
  7. To inspire, mentor, and expose more women and girls to entrepreneurship as we work towards achieving SDGs4All and their implications for livelihood sustainability.
  8. To showcase the achievement of women role models and foster a new generation of women in elective and appointive leadership positions towards achieving Planet 50-50 by 2030.

We are inspired that our modest efforts in contributing to the growth and development of women and girls is increasingly attracting worthy organizations in partnership towards target development goals. We are constantly updating our skills through various capacity building experiences to ensure we remain a credible, tested and preferred Partner for Organizations desirous of heightened impact for women and girls. We are home-grown, Africa-led and duly registered as a non-governmental organization.
