Who it’s for
Women starting or growing a small business or social enterprise, at any stage of the journey.
Education, skills & economic empowerment
AWEF Hub
Central support for women building their own enterprise.
The programme
A home base for women moving into enterprise.
AWEF Hub is our central support mechanism for African women building social enterprises and small businesses. It offers holistic, joined-up support: not just a one-off workshop, but ongoing help throughout the business journey.
We anchor women through the early, uncertain stages of building something of their own, until they are strong enough to run it independently.
AWEF is not a regulated legal-advice provider. Where a matter needs regulated legal or specialist professional advice, we signpost you to qualified professionals.
AWEF is not an emergency service. If you are in immediate danger, call 999. If you cannot speak, press 55 when prompted.
