Building Economically Prepared and Professionally Confident African Women

Africa Built By Her equips African women with practical skills, workplace readiness, career exposure, and professional confidence for long-term economic opportunity.

Africa Built By Her exists to help African women build the skills, confidence, exposure, and professional readiness needed to navigate an increasingly complex economic world.

We believe that economic preparedness should not begin only when a crisis occurs. It should be built intentionally through access to practical learning, career exposure, workplace knowledge, digital familiarity, and opportunities that expand long-term choice.

Through workforce-focused programs, professional development experiences, and digital skills training, Africa Built By Her helps women prepare for meaningful participation in the modern economy and the opportunities it continues to create.

Africa Built By Her is a public program of the Anita and Alice Foundation for Women Development, a Nigerian non-profit organization committed to advancing women’s economic preparedness and professional growth across Africa.
