Emmanuella Lennox recently launched a digital platform, WAWUAfrica, to empower African women, artisans and entrepreneurs. According to organisers, the initiative is to provide a safe, inclusive and supportive space for women to learn new ideas, earn, grow and scale their businesses.
Stressing that women entrepreneurs in Africa contribute significantly to the economy of their countries, organisers believe that women still face systemic barriers in accessing opportunities, funding and resources, adding that it would bridge the gap created by integrating faith, innovation and community support to unlock limitless possibilities for women globally.
The platform, they noted would offer a Christocentric approach to business, collaborative marketplace for women to showcase skills, products and services, legal, health, and regulatory support from key partners, educational development from top local and international training institutes, business growth tools and opportunities, and networking with industry leaders.
Speaking on the launch, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, WAWUAfrica, Mrs. Emmanuella Lennox, said: “We are creating a movement where women do not just survive, they thrive. This is more than a platform, it is a sisterhood of unstoppable women rising together.”
By leveraging technology, strategic partnerships and community support, WAWUAfrica is rewriting the story of African women in business. The platform is poised to make a transformative impact on the lives of women across the continent.
