WE value the diversity of people and ecosystems that support life, creativity and innovation

WE pay it forwards.. and grow upwards

WE come as we are, with a readiness to grow

WE ask questions that create new possibilities for doing things differently

WE are an expanding circle

WE have collective power through collective leadership

WE show up for ourselves, each other and the planet

WE act with urgency - people and the planet are suffering

WE practise the ethical principles of inclusivity, consideration, participation, respect for people, wildlife and natural systems.

WE put women at the heart of transforming Africa’s environmental movement

Our vision is that WE Africa sparks a movement of women leaders in Africa and beyond, who are role modelling a more effective and impactful way to do conservation. By delivering transformational and deeply African leadership experiences, amplified by a strong pay it forward approach and supported by a connected community, WE Africa is making tangible contributions to the sustainability and wellbeing of leaders and ecosystems. WE Africa is a beacon of hope for the future, locally and globally.

Part of my plea, as a person who has come from philanthropy for many years is to trust the women of Africa, invest big in them, and think big of them as they think big and they want to do good work. The deeper your investment in people the more you will see impact.
