Are you a trailblazing African woman driving impactful change in development?
Take your chance to be recognized and celebrated internationally!
Donors for Africa Foundation proudly presents the fifth feature of the African Women in Development (AWID) Awards, an esteemed initiative honoring the remarkable contributions of African women working on any SDGs across the continent.
What is AWID?
AWID stands as a beacon of recognition, highlighting the often-unsung heroes – African women who are at the forefront of driving global development initiatives. Organized by Donors for Africa Foundation, this campaign is not just about acknowledgment; it’s about amplifying the stories and achievements of women who are catalysts for change in their communities and beyond. It is also about mainly finding unknown women who are transforming their communities.
Others who have made the list in the past includes; Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Ndidi Nwuneli, Former Liberia President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, Kiki Mordi, Ini Abimbola, Sarah Lagot, Hauwa Ojiefor, Chisom Obi-Jeff, Jokate Mwegelo and Sahle-Work Zwede, among others.
The Yves Rocher Foundation was born over 25 years ago, inspired by one family’s desire to give the natural world back what it is owed by human beings. From the very start, from its beginnings in the French village of La Gacilly to its global presence today, our vocation has always been to protect biodiversity.
