Women in Africa Investments Group

Women in African Investments (WAI) is an influential collective of women investment professionals focused on investing in Africa. Small Foundation team members are proud participants in the network and Small Foundation supported WAI’s first impact report.

Our partnership and learning

“Small Foundation’s support to the Women in African Investments Group led to a 20% growth in members in just four months in early 2022. The publication of our impact report, sponsored by Small Foundation, articulated the value of this network to the broader investor ecosystem.

The WAI Group is a powerful platform to connect senior investment professionals and engage them in conversations that are fundamental to changing the way we invest in African businesses, particularly via women-led capital allocators and into women-led businesses.”
