🌍 𝐖𝐈𝐃𝐔.𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚'𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐊𝐖𝐈𝐆 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 On September 7th, WIDU.africa proudly took part in the Kenyan Women in Germany (KWIG) 2024 event, held in Mainz, Germany. Organized to celebrate the achievements of Kenyan women in Germany, the event highlighted their critical role in economic and social development while fostering unity and addressing community issues. As a leading supporter of diaspora engagement and women's empowerment in Africa, WIDU.africa contributed with a program presentation by our coordinator and a stand to engage with the attendees. We were able to showcase our initiatives, spark meaningful conversations, and strengthen our network within the diaspora. Thank you to all participants and partners for making KWIG 2024 an inspiring and successful event! #WIDUafrica #KWIG2024 #KenyaDiaspora #Entrepreneurship #Networking #BusinessGrowth
Info
WIDU.africa aims to redirect remittances from the African diaspora in European partner countries through a grant into investments in small businesses in Africa. The objective is to improve the employment and income situation of small and micro businesses in Africa (Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Togo and Tunisia). In addition to the WIDU grant, participating entrepreneurs receive supportive coaching measures to ensure funding is used as effectively as possible. The platform allows members of the African diaspora in Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, together with friends and relatives living in participating African countries, to apply for funding for their business ideas. The focus is on small and micro businesses in the informal economy. The prerequisite is that the project partners already know and trust each other. The African diaspora also has to be prepared to invest their own funds in the local business. In addition to financial support, sponsored entrepreneurs receive three free coaching sessions customised to their individual needs. WIDU.africa is a regional project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
