Who We Are
African Women Mentoring and Inspiring initiative (AWMIl) is a Pan-African forum for women. We are a conglomeration of professional minded Africans who desire the best for the continent with focus on the vulnerable group called “women”. There is so much plaguing the ideologies of the African woman; from her geographical placement to the colour of her skin coupled with illiteracy is perceived to be limiting factor for her. Therefore AWMII is an initiative that believes in the educational emancipation and “geographical revival* of the African Woman. We teach African women to understand that we are not disadvantaged because of the colour of our skin or our geographical placement.
