AfraLead

AfraLead envisions a future in which every young woman is equipped to be economically active, be it through employment, entrepreneurship, or work in the experience economy. We support future-fit women working locally and internationally, in the traditional and digital economies. AfraLead's mission is to accelerate the economic participation of young women through industry-informed, digitally-based confluences, training, professional development, and economic opportunities. Through these mechanisms, we position women for participation in one of three career paths: 1. Employment 2. Entrepreneurial action 3. Work in the experience economy At AfraLead, we believe that we can best impact the lives of individuals by creating systemic change at scale. To achieve this, we work with a number of different stakeholders, including businesses and organisations.
