WAAW Foundation recognizes that until the African family unit is stable, it is an uphill task to seek good health conditions for the woman, let alone educational and economic advances. The plight of the African woman against prejudices and huge societal disadvantages in often male dominated communities is still vastly unexposed, and requires a strong and compassionate voice. WAAW foundation possesses an insider’s perspective, and understands this challenges as well as opportunities for social change, that if guided well, could well change the course of the African continent and yield economic and health benefits on an international level. It is in response to this vision that WAAW foundation was established.

Since its inception, WAAW foundation has been working to investigate viable projects, build strategic alliances, source for funds, as well as recruit for and organize its establishment. The main goal of the WAAW foundation is to achieve advanced education, sustainable economic development and health for the African woman, thereby giving the African woman a powerful voice in the community of nations. We believe that the woman is the pivot of the family and the family is the pivot of the community. Therefore focusing on the African woman will indeed impact the larger community. We believe in empowering African women by reinforcing independence, funding change and enabling sustainable self-help mechanisms.
