Opportunity doesn’t wait for an invitation—we must build the door in order for opportunity to knock. It takes courage, persistence, and a strong belief in our potential to build that door. As business women, it is our duty to not only create our own opportunities but to boldly step into global industries as both innovators and leaders. The Women’s Prosperity Alliance is imperative because it unites us to expand our influence and actively shape the future of industries worldwide.

ABOUT WPA
The Women’s Prosperity Alliance (WPA) is an ambitious and groundbreaking initiative led by Women United Foundation, designed to reshape the future of investment in Africa. Supported by Africa’s First Ladies, this alliance is driven by those on the ground who are directly connected to the needs and solutions of business leaders across the continent, with a strong presence of women entrepreneurs leading the way in its implementation.
Our mission is simple: Invest. Build. Transform. We are not only dedicated to building industries that create lasting economic infrastructure and empower women to fully participate in the global economy, but we are also deeply invested in our own success. Through this approach, we are ensuring that businesswomen have the tools, resources, and opportunities to drive their own futures forward.
Our Mission: Invest. Build. Transform.
Invest with Purpose Beyond Profits:
WPA challenges the traditional approach to investment in Africa by prioritizing meaningful, high-impact investments. Our strategy focuses on nurturing local enterprises and investing in sectors with high growth potential-such as technology, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy-ensuring that every dollar directly benefits local communities and economies.
Empower Women as Economic Leaders:
At WPA, we believe that women are the key to Africa's future. With the support of Africa's First Ladies and the expertise of the African Women Business Union (AWBU), we provide women entrepreneurs access to global markets, mentorship, and capital. Our goal is to empower women to scale their businesses, innovate within their industries, and impact their communities positively.
