Women In Africa (WIA) has announced the applications for the Women for Zero Hunger Program.

Launched in 2016, Women In Africa (WIA) is the first international platform dedicated to the economic development and support of African women entrepreneurs. At WIA, they are convinced that Pan-African women contribute greatly, through their actions, to the change and impact they bring to the continent’s progress.

Aims

“Women for Zero Hunger” will enable 3 non-profit organizations:

• to be visible: to inspire, to be recognized and to have more impact;
• to be mentored: to benefit from expert advice and personalized support;
• to be funded: each of the 3 associative structures will receive €5,000. At the end of the mentoring program, one of the three finalist structures will be chosen by the jury members on the basis of pre-established criteria and will receive an additional €5,000 in financial support. In addition, the representative will be invited to the annual Stop Hunger event in Paris to receive a trophy and benefit from a crowdfunding operation during the event.
