SADCWIB is more than just an association, it is a movement that aims to empower, uplift, and unite women across the SADC region, by fostering economic empowerment, knowledge exchange, and networking opportunities, with the aim to pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for women entrepreneurs.

We aim to empower, support and celebrate the achievements of women entrepreneurs and professionals, by enhancing their skills, knowledge, and exposure in a global setting.

Mission Statement

Drawing upon the rich cultural diversity and enterprising spirit of the SADC region and beyond, this initiative aims to create a supportive ecosystem where women can thrive and sustain the development and growth of their businesses, locally and internationally.

The SADCWIB initiative is set to make its mark as a groundbreaking and empowering platform for women across the region.

The Women of SADCWiB passionately believe in and stand by the sentiments expressed by Maya Angelou: “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style." - Maya Angelou, American poet, and civil rights activist

The Association`s main focus and objectives include:

The initiative celebrates the diversity of the SADC region and encourages inclusivity. By bringing together women from different backgrounds and industries, the program aims to create a supportive and inclusive community.

Economic Empowerment: by providing access to training, resources, and networks, the initiative seeks to equip women with the tools they need to drive economic growth and prosperity across various industries.
Knowledge Exchange: The program emphasises knowledge-sharing and capacity-building, where participants can engage in workshops, seminars, and panel discussions with experts from various fields. This exchange of ideas will promote innovation and collaboration across the region.
Networking Opportunities: Through strategic partnerships and networking events, participants get to connect with like-minded professionals, potential investors, and mentors, fostering valuable business and personal relationships.
Promotion of Inclusivity and Diversity: We believe that every woman has a unique strength, talent, and voice that deserves to be heard. We aim to amplify these voices, empowering women to break barriers, overcome challenges, and create a more inclusive and equitable world.
