Are you passionate about entrepreneurship in Kenya, South Africa or Uganda? Do you want to support women-led business to flourish?
We believe that the current investment landscape isn’t set up for women to succeed in business, so we’re connecting funders with game-changing female entrepreneurs from across Kenya, Uganda, and South Africa in a brand new program to bridge the investment gap.
This program is designed to:
Equip women entrepreneurs with the knowledge and awareness to navigate the world of investment
Help them to assess what type of investment, if any, their business needs
Provide tailored support and a network of experts to help women-led businesses access capital confidently
We are looking for mentors to support the #WomenBuildingAfrica.
yher Africa is looking for mentors for its new cohort of female entrepreneurs participating in the yher Africa Invest Program.
