Investing in women in Africa

In Africa, women own about 58% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), yet they face significant barriers to accessing capital. Closing this gap could add $316 billion to Africa’s economy.

When women are financially empowered, they reinvest their earnings into their families and communities, fueling long-term economic stability.

A stable and growing economy reduces poverty, which, in turn, minimizes conditions that can lead to social unrest and conflict.
