Lifting as
We Rise

A Pan-African movement of women in investment and finance — mentoring, supporting, and championing each other to rise and lead with purpose.

Together, we're building confidence, capability, and community across borders. Because when one woman rises, an entire continent moves forward.

The Why

Because When Women Rise, Africa Rises

Across Africa, talented women in investment and finance often face invisible ceilings limited networks, few role models, and scarce mentorship. Womentor Africa bridges this gap. We create a space where women lift each other, share wisdom, and open doors for those coming after them.

Mentorship Overview

At the heart of Womentor Africa is our flagship mentorship program — a curated experience connecting women in investment and finance across the continent for real, measurable growth.


Our program brings together women who have walked the path — those who have navigated the challenges, broken barriers, and reached leadership — to guide those rising behind them. It's about creating a visible pathway to leadership, shaped by women who know what it takes to get there.
